Got my 2015 bull back from Black River Taxidermy. Full disclosure: Joel ( the owner) is a good personal friend and hunting partner. The hunt for this bull embodied nearly every aspect of a perfect backcountry hunt to me, ( a guy can always ask for a bigger bull

) and I knew I wanted to mount this one when I walked up to him. Joel being new to the taxidermy business and never having mounted a bull before, knows I am a bit of a taxidermy critic and we are very honest with each other about expectations. He offered to do the work, but was very gracious and understanding if I chose to go a different way. In the end I decided to take a leap of faith and after discussing options chose to go with a 90 degree turn and he modified the head of the form to a very similar pose to just before I let the arrow go. Well, I picked him up last week and any worry I may have had was eliminated as I am extremely pleased with how he turned out! Mind you this is the second full shoulder mount bull he has done. I have no doubts they will only continue to look better as he is very attentive to details and always working to improve his finished product. Thanks Joel and BRT!

Your bull looks fantastic! Seems like a great guy. 1 of these days I'll have to stop by his shop when I'm going through Rochester!
