Crazy elk ( Cedar River Taxidermy)
« on: April 22, 2014, 08:56:30 AM »
 Mike's west side bull. Not sure what this guy got tangled up with but it sure messed with his antlers. Right ear was disfigured as well, put about three hours of reconstructive surgery into it to make it look half way normal. bull was 2 1/2 years old as well. A lot of antler growth for such a young elk. Had about 320 inches of antler. Thanks for looking, Rick

Freak Nasty, I love that one. Nice work with a very unique animal.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

 Appreciate the compliments everyone.
 Yes skinning around those pedicles was a challenge, Lol. He was a 2013 early archery bull with some velvet still on the bases, we darkened the antlers some, they are not as red as they appear in the photos.
 Thanks, Rick
