Another Pedestal elk mount out the door for Charlies Taxidermy!
« on: January 19, 2009, 08:31:37 PM »
Heres  a good public land archery bull I mounted for a friend of mine. Its a Pedestal mount without the pedestal. The tightwad didnt want to pay for the cabinet so hes building his own  :chuckle: For those of you who like detail, here you go. For those that dont like detail you probably wont like it. Its a head up sniffing. The bull was shot in the peak of the rut in some hot weather so I envisioned him showing the veins in his face as if he just came kicking butt into a hot cow call , now hes pumped and looking for her!! Enjoy!

The price depends on the base, there is alot of options with the base itself, wether or not you want a little habitat etc.. That mount without a base would run $1050.00 or so.

That's a great looking mount. Love the detail of the early capes. Nice!

You do an incredible job on elk.  I hope mine turns out only half as good.  What frame do you use when mounting these big pedestals in your shop?

I use a heavy duty mounting stand Bone, those peds have a block of wood in the back so you can sscrew them to the stand like a normal shoulder mount.

Awesome mount charlie. When is mine going to be done???? :rolleyes: :P Just kidding I know it will be a while. I can see it hanging in my living room right now. Great work.!!!!

I cant wait to mount your bull! That thing is a PIG!!

Thanks for the nice replies guys!
