Seb ~ I just got off the phone with my dad. He explained it IS a big hassle with the USFWS, plus some high fees to get things threw Customs. As for what I stated about huntin' here in North America. It WOULD be easier to get these permits required for exporting them out of our country & into yours if you were the one that legally shot & tagged the animal & not just outright bought the antlers from a dealer. Let me no if there is anything you need my help with. I'll do what I can on this end. [glow=red,2,300] I THINK IT IS EASIER FOR A MEXICAN TO BECOME A U.S. CITIZEN THEN IT IS TO EXPORT 1 DEER ANTLER   [/glow] |

Hello stumper,
I've noticed the pronghorn in the first picture only has half his rack. Is there a story there? What do you call that thing right above it? Is that a "jackalope"? It's a great collection. I'm instantly filled with envy. Thanks for sharing it with us. Best wishes.

Cal~
Sorry it took a bit of time to reply to ya. It's been busy here. Deer season is in, I'm gettin' my wife squared away for here trip to England in a couple of days & helpin' my pap so he can get prepared for his moose hunt in a couple of weeks from now. Our annual South Jersey Sportsman's Jamboree is this weekend & I'm helpin' get my dads Taxidermy display ready for the weekend out there...... (Anyone that will be in my neck of the woods, swing on by. There will be thousands of others with our same love of huntin' there. I wonder if that dude will be there that whooped butt a few times shoot clay pigeons against the others that used shotguns, when he used his .45 or .50 cal muzzy.) .........To top it all off, I still have to go to work for 10 to 14 hours a day. My sorry a$$ boss thinks I should have to work during hunting season. Can you believe that crap ;D ;D ;D...
Anyway. The first snap-shot you are askin' about has no Pronghorns in it. The animal in question is a Chamois. To it's left is an Indian Blackbuck. To the right of the Chamois is an Axis, then you have an Auldad & then a nice Texas Ibex. The Blacktail deer that is just under the striper's tail is a the Sitka Blacktail from Alaska, & the blacktail deer just above & to the left of the sitka is a big Columbian Blacktail deer from Washington state that is in the Pope & Young books. My dad was happy when he put his steel tipped stick in this beauty. The lamp just under the Chamois is from a bear leg from one of the bear my dad killed. I mounted it for my dad a few years back for his B-Day.

Okay, at last! I had trouble earlier, much earlier, explaining what I meant by a Rockfish (Striped bass). There it is in the very first picture of this thread, at the top middle. They are common up and down the Atlantic coast. Smaller ones, called pan rock, will come into brackish water for a couple of miles. Best wishes.

I love eating strippers. Some good eatin' there buddy. This ol' gal was caught right outta the Maurice River. Not far from the Mauricetown bridge, which is the cut off point from salt to fresh water. Of course I stay on the salt water side of the bridge so I don't have to buy a license ;D. That fish tastes just the same as it would if I was standin' 3' to the right & I don't fish enough to justify the extra cost. I feel I was blessed being able to grow up & living on this river all my life. You catch Sunnys, Perch, channel cats, Bullhead cats, stripers, & the closer I get to Port Norris,at the mouth feeding into the Delaware Bay, the occasional shark, weakie & several other bay dwellers are being caught. They get drawn up this far because of the shuckin' & packin' houses are all right there. A big ol' chum bucket. The next bonus is the river cuts in between Egg Island Point & east point Light House....... Bubba, you being familiar with the Delaware bay, have you ever fished off of these points? I know you have your own hot spots over on your side of the bay, but have ya ever hit any of these areas over my way? ? |

Hello Stumper and Bubba,
There's just something about the area around the mid-Atlantic that gives me no end of joy. The variety of fish available to us is simply amazing. I'm sure there are lots of areas with good fishing, but nothing like what we experience. That area and its fishing is what I miss most about not living in the states. Yeah, it's the land of "Pleasant Living" alright. The person who coined the phrase "Variety is the Spice of Life" surely must have been referring to the fishing in the close-in Atlantic. Best wishes.
