New Mexico Elk pedestal done (Charlies Taxidermy)
« on: December 29, 2012, 01:26:00 PM »
Just got this pedestal mount all wrapped up rescently and got some descent pictures in between rain showers. This is a new mexico bull that I had to recolor the antlers on as it was stained by , well, someone that didnt have a clue . Anyway got the antlers looking much much better with a little elbow grease and time. The dirt is actual dirt from new mexico also. ANyway, enjoy the pics!!

I just showed the 3rd and 4th pictures to my wife and said "Not all elk mounts look like that."
Great work Charlie!!
