Picked up my mounts from 2016 a few weeks ago. I wanted to try and combine them to save space, since I don't have a lot of that left. I like how it turned out. All are archery kills except for the whitetail euro hanging on the bottom left, that is a muzzleloader kill which took 8 years to get a tag in my home state of ND.

Thanks guys. Wannaelk - The antelope and bottom muley was in SD, the top mule deer was in CO, the two whitetails were in ND. The antelope and bottom two euro's look a lot smaller in the picture. Here they are in "real" life. lol

What’s the story on drawing a ML tag in N. Dakota? Why does it take so long ?

t-Roy, state law allows only 2 percent of the total number of whitetailed deer gun licenses available each year to be issued as muzzleloader licenses. Of those, they get split in half for bucks and does. So for example in 2017, 1,022 muzzleloader licenses were issued, one half (511) as antlered whitetail and one half (511) as antlerless whitetail. There are a lot of applicants trying for only 511 tags, of course the number of tags fluctuates yearly depending on the G&F survey's and allotted tags given out each year.

Charlie, LOL!
buzz mc - Yes, it was the last day of the season, so December 10th or something like that. It was -2 and I had been either hiding behind a tree or laying face down in the snow for 5 hours before he finally stood up.
