Nice buck. The taxidermist has some strange elk antlers to work with.

Scotts taxidermy in colville. He does really good work, been a taxidermist a lot longer than ive been alive. He will be retiring pretty soon, then ill have to find a new taxi. He has that buck hes working on for me, plus a coyote rug and full skunk mount. Hes also doing a full mount lion for a friend right now. Hoping to bring him a real monster wt buck this fall before he calls it quits. Ive got a few located that will go very easy over 160

that is gonna be stunning!!

i'm an odd ball. i dont want a bunch of heads and stuff in my home.

i might do a few euro mounts if i ever get a goat or something, but that is it. i'll snap a pic, and eat the thing. :)

my elk euro i gave to my sister. she has the roof height at her place.

Mine should be under construction soon as well. At my taxi, I have last years WT, last years bull elk, and last years pronghorn. The elk and pronghorn only get horn mounts, the WT gets a shoulder mount.

I have been told the same. I love having all of those tangible memories, every one brings back the memory of that hunt, and even season. I have mostly euros (I just like them) only 4 shoulder mounts, and gonna rug my last lion. deer are what will be my future shoulder mounts, elk take up lots of room, and bucks are all unique.

I forgot how cool your buck is! thing is awesome, almost doesn't look like a whitetail, has an "edgy" rack like a blackie. can't wait to see the finished product! it would be a shame to not shoulder mount that deer, cool as heck and BIG!
