Sweet bull! I'd agree with Fidalgo Taxidermy in Anacortes. I had an elk euro and deer wall pedestal done by them this last year. Super nice people and fantastic workmanship!

Ummm, you must have some VERY high standards if that is only a "decent 6x6" to you. LOL

You Sir are far to modest.  That is a very nice looking head and those are VERY pretty horns.  That will make for a beautiful mount, I'd love to see a pic when it's done.  Just goes to show, hard work and persistence, does pay off.  Well done!!

Nice bull! That looks like a great time! I too love horseback trips into the backcountry. Nothing like it. Paul is a great guy. I've shared some whiskey and campfire with him and everyone had a great time. He's also a phenomenal singer. When I listen to him play it reminds me of my grandfather. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks everyone, I am going with Olympic Taxidermy in North Bend.  He is close and I have a buddy who used him with great results.

Quick Update, I ended up with 234 pounds of boneless meat off this guy, and I scored him at 302.  I'm not really that good at measuring so he could be anywhere from 298 to 306

Side note, this was my first Big Bull so lots of learning opportunities.  The biggest was that you can't carry the head and cape out antlers down while on a steep slope!

Buzzy will do a great job for you. Taken plenty of critters there. Known him since I was little

That's a dandy bull! That's the hunt I wanted to do, how many points did you have to draw out of curiosity?

Congrats Rob!!  Great bull!  I considered doing the same thing with my Peaches Tag this year.  Hiked to the almost to the head of Crow one day from Raven during a scouting trip.  Just about killed my not-as-young-as-it-use-to-be body!  Sounds like a memorable adventure, well done!
