Takeaways:
 

• Proper caping and care of the hide is essential for preserving trophies
• Cutting the hide along the hair pattern and avoiding unnecessary cuts ensures a better outcome
• Following CWD laws and properly disposing of animal remains is important
• Working with a professional taxidermist can result in a higher quality mount When caping a deer, be careful not to cut on top of the earbud as it can be difficult to sew back up.
• To remove burrs, use an outdoor edge replaceable blade knife and keep the skin tight while scraping with the knife.
• For clearing the ears, cut through the cartilage and be mindful not to cut into the inner ear.
• When handling the eyes, stick a finger in the corner of the eye and peel off the skull, being cautious not to cut the eyelid.
• Preserve the cape if possible, as taxidermists may buy it for euro mounts or other purposes.
• For a euro mount, split the head down the center of the face and avoid scraping the knife blade on the skull.

On today's episode, Jacob shares his own struggles with mindset as it relates to his upcoming solo elk hunt out west. Letting go of the steering wheel related to work life, related to home life and other commitments can be difficult when leaving on a 2 week trip in the backcountry. The patience that is required to play the "long game" with an archery elk hunt can also prove to be difficult. We all want results now, so we can move on to the next thing...but that is just not how hunting works. Lastly, confidence in one's hunt plan can also impact the actual in the field success or failure. How does one remain confident when the odds are against you. As you listen, you may find that you can relate to these mindset challenges while in the field.

In this the first of the 2024 Autumn Oaks recordings, Steve is joined by Texan Sid Underwood and by Land of Lincoln coon hunter Doug Crawley.  The conversations were recorded live in media center of the Kuhlman Center, headquarters for the Event Where History Is Made.

Underwood had the distinction of being the last Bench Show Judge to judge Autumn Oaks in its entirety as a single judge.  The event now employs two judges and as many rings in the three-day event.   The old friends discuss many aspects of Autumn Oaks, of coon hunting in the State of Texas and their association as co-employees of the Field Operations Department of UKC when Steve was there.

Crawley set a milestone in the UKC World Coonhound Championship that can never be replicated.  His Treeing Walker Coonhound Crawley’s Louise became the first-ever female hound to win the UKC World Nite Hunt Championship.  Louise accomplished the feat in 1989, thirty-five years ago.  Steve and Doug take a nostalgic trip back to Montgomery City, Missouri, then headquarters of John and Linda Wick’s Wick Outdoor Works supply business, including accounts of the hunt that took place in the midst of a hurricane.
