that sounds fantastic. terrific quality on the heads entered. ill be makin a note to try to attend your show next year. quick question. how did you guys get prizes with that much value? are you relying on donations, or cost to enter the heads?

[coolpool]

We were graced with a free 7mm and all other firearms were at cost from a local dealer. The head mounts are also being done at cost from a local taxidermist. Most of the other prizes were straight donations; some we also bought at cost from monies that were donated intended for that purpose. Our door cost was kept low since we didn't know what to expect, $5.00 viewing and $10.00 entry. The door alone almost covered all our out of pocket expenses. Hope this helps! PM me if you have any more questions.

Any pics cool??... sounds like a good turnout, congrats.

I have lots of pics but don't find this website too picture friendly; at least not for a guy born in the 60's. I'd be happy to send you some if you get me an email address. We are supposed to have a website started sometime in the near future. I'll keep everyone informed
