No room for a second mount, what would you do?

Loan it to me!!!  I have a great spot for one and will probably never kill a bull.     One of these days I am going to mount a cow so I can enjoy an elk mount.

My advice is to wear large antlers and bugle loudly.  Good luck in your quest.

Or another idea. Pedestal mount?

The good thing about bringing up this subject is that I'm going to jinx myself and NOT get a bull so I won't have the dilemma after all.

Your supposed to be negative going into it, then you'll get one....reverse physycology!

I think the suggestion ofTanning the cape and doing a Euro mount is valid. Euro's are pretty sweet and no less of a trophy for preserving the memory. They look pretty cool in a garage as well

Is there any way of you ever owning a larger home?  I was fortunate to kill an awesome 6x6 for my first bull but didn't have the area to put such an animal in the home I had at the time.  So, I just had the cape dry tanned for safe keeping and mounted it 6 years later.  Not sure if this is at all a possibility but it worked great for me!!!

The next deer mount I get will be replacing the family picture

Tanning the cape and doing a euro mount does sound like a viable option, although I don't know that I'll ever want to load up a wall with more than one elk shoulder mount.  I've seen some folks do that and, unless they have a huge house, it can really take over the living space.

I've suggested to my wife that I could put one over the bed since the master bedroom has a vaulted ceiling but you might guess what her reaction was to that.  Maybe I'll do that anyway and pay extra for the taxidermist to put in moving eyeballs and a sound track that does cat calls when she walks through in the buff.

This will be a moot point if I don't score a big bull but I've been thinking about a very possible dilimna I may face in elk season this year.  I have a quality archery bull tag in an area I know to hold big bulls and the season timing has improved my chances over previous years.  Here's the problem: I have a big bull mount at my place and there is absolutely no good location for a second.  If I happen to score I want to have the decision already made as to whether to take it to a taxidermist.  What would you do?

Sounds like an addition is in order or a new shop.  I would start making arrangements with a contractor or buddy at this time.  Don't let small things like space hang you up.

This is what I did

That's pretty cool buglebuster
