One more elk pedestal done( Charlies Taxidermy)

This is Rosscrazys elk from his blues hunt , Old bull was pretty beat up , seriouse rub marks on the right side , ears were all scabbed and scared with hardly any hair , some big antler gouges on one side . Most of the bad stuff was on the back side of the mount so the show side is pretty good shape LOL. Here is your trophy Ross. Enjoy the pics.

Really nice work, Charlie.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Looks good Charlie! i can vouch on how bad that cape looked.... I told Ross he should probably start shopping for a new one as it was hammered! Congrats Ross, beautiful bull!  ;)
My biggest fear is when I die, my wife will sell all my guns for what I said they cost me!     ;)

Great Elk and good work.  As far as the owner of that elk he has been pursuing a beast like this for year's and certainly earned it.  Now that he is married let's see if he can get out of the house.  LOL

Gorgeous!  Everything about that mount is majestic, well done
