If you’re lucky enough to get a deer this next week, we are happy to provide delivery at no extra charge. Drop it off in Burns and pick it up in the Willamette Valley-no 5 hour drive. We hope everyone has a great and successful hunt, but most of all a memorable one. Making memories with family are some of the best in our lives. And we hope they are for you too. Happy Hunting!

10 years ago, after a local tire company was no longer allowed to host this event, we were approached and asked to take it on. We want to thank the Harney County community for continuing each year in helping make this event a success. We love seeing adults and kids alike, come together for the busiest season of the year for us. Thank you to our sponsors for continuing to help us share the love of the outdoors and hunting. .

After taking over this contest 10 years ago, we are hoping to add to each of our prize categories, celebrating 10 years of BIG BUCKS in Harney County! We are looking for local Harney County businesses wanting to add to the current categories ( Adult biggest buck and Youth biggest buck) or get creative and make your own! None of the entry fees are for profit. If you are interested in having your business involved and donating an item or creating a whole new prize category, please reach out or stop by at 1301 Hines Blvd. In Burns.

We know quite a few hunters who are counting down the days until the sun comes up on opening day of archery season. Sewell’s Taxidermy provides an extra easy service for customers not from Eastern Oregon. After you successfully harvest the buck or bull of your dreams, bring it to us at 1301 Hines Blvd in Burns with your tag information and $300 deposit, then in 8-12 months we meet you in central Oregon or the Willamette Valley based on your needs, with your completed mount- at no extra charge. Have questions about our services? Give us a call at 541-979-4778

THIS IS HOW WE DO IT…..

With antelope season only seven days away, we thought we would talk about some of the questions we get from hunters, successful enough to draw a tag. After waiting for years, everyone wants to know exactly what to do and how to ensure that they can get their harvest to us successfully.

•☀️August is a tricky month, with high temperatures and very remote camping. With that, we highly recommend that our customers skin it as quickly as possible down to the base of the skull, and keeping as much of the cape below the brisket and around as possible. Don’t feel comfortable skinning it out? No problem. Feel free to come in right after you harvest it and let us take care of helping you get it done. Just give us a call ahead of time to let us know you’re on your way. We try to be there as much as we can during the day but if you need to come in late at night or early in the morning, we are available 24/7.

•🥶keep it cold and dry. A cooler with ice is great as long as the hide is on top of it, out of the water and dry at all times. The best method is to think of it just like the meat. The last thing you wanted to do is spoil.

• 🛻💨 Get it to us as quickly as you can. While a cooler may work for a few days, in high heat the potential to spoil goes up. If you’re hunting with a group, make a trip to town, get some groceries and drop it off with us. We can take care of the rest.

🚨We know for years, lots of people talk about salting their hides, but we DO NOT recommend doing this, unless you plan to be out for MANY days, don’t have access to a cooler and you know the process. In the event, any piece of meat is left on the hide and you have salted, It has the potential to not only damage the hide but has potential to slip during tanning- if done incorrectly.

☎️ Still have questions? Don’t hesitate to give us a call.

It’s crazy to think hunting season is almost here! Antelope hunters will begin coming to eastern oregon this next week and we wanted to update everyone on who we are, and our services. If you have questions please feel free to reach out. Shop hours vary, but we are on call 24/7.

08/23/2024

Yes! We offer free delivery to the mid Willamette Valley for customers on the west side. But no, we don’t deliver delicious steak, sourdough pancakes and eggs. To all the hunters coming through, be sure and swing by the chamber of commerce down town on September 7th to enjoy a hearty breakfast that supports local scholarships.
