Some of you may remember that last summer my daughter, Samantha, killed her first groundhog. Being the proud Dad, I promised to have it mounted. Well, today the phone rang..........

Here's how he turned out.

Alot has happened since that day. My Mom died at the end of the Summer, Samantha and I both completed Hunter Safety Education, Samantha earned one "B" and the rest "A's" for the whole year, while participating in gymnastics year round. She still continues to shoot at any given chance. Things have been pretty busy, but we need to hit the bean fields again for more whistle pigs.

I LOVE IT! That has to be the first whistle pig I ever saw mounted but I sure get it. That's a neat mount of one in the garden...just like they always look!

My dad mounted a spike mule deer...Being a Pa native and never hunting out west, It was his first ever and he hunted his butt off for it. That's what makes a trophy, just like yours.

Great Story!

Maybe you ought to let um, Jeff. Poor ol callshot being 'one-eyed and crippled' might be able to get close enough to that one to actually hit it.
:lol: :wink:
