Awesome mount as well.

bucklucky:
Thanks! yeah thats a pig of a bull. Wish I killed it!

boneaddict:
Is that on this form

I had thought about doing mine with that, but not sure I want to do the whole open mouth thing.  This was the form I was thinking aobut using as a wall mount.

My bull has incredible fronts and not the best backs.  I was trying to find a form that would show that off.  Any thoughts?

bucklucky:
Yeah, thats the form I used on the 388 bull. The form you are thinking about using I think , is more for a bull that you want to show off from the side. I believe thats a 90 degree form isnt it? I had a customer that just picked up a bull that wanted a 90 but His horns were all fronts, the backs were super weak. I ended up using the full sneak from research. Thats a good form to use for showing off width and fronts. I dont think I got a good picture though.

bucklucky:
 OOPS, I wasnt finished yet. I think you would want a form that is going to look at you from the wall to show off the fronts, But in reality its what you think looks good. Its nice to have some forms so you can mock up your bull to see what you really want. You can always cut and modify to give it the look you want. The 388 bull on the bugling mount I actually cut and modified to give it the look I wanted. A little more turn and a little tilt. Wish you could see it in person, pics dont do it justice. You do your own mounts dont you? If you were closer I'd help you do something cool with your form. I enjoy modifying forms. It gives it your own personal touch so you can see the horns exactly how you want them.
