Beautiful rack,   :dunno: Why do you guys (see alot on here) keep cutting the heads off at the base of the skull?  Cape it and make a dollar or two it will pay for your gas or buy you something extra nice if your not going to mount it.... Taxis buy them, especially mature bulls like that....  Do one each year and keep a tab going, maybe you'll get a free mount after a couple years...  Again very nice animal...

I'm thinking "why not mount a 342?" what are you waiting for a 400? 342 is frickin big!

Something about this pic, I really like it, the grass with the yotes hair color, and the contrast of a sweet AR.
I just think the animal could have been posed better with the AR, and angle the camera lower.
Nice shot.

Good to see you around some more Elkman I hope all is well! I love the colors in your pic there ... I'm not even going to pretend to have a pic worthy of this month!
