Finally on the wall
« on: September 10, 2018, 01:03:16 PM »
Took almost a year to do it, but I finally found time to wrap up my frame and get this baby on the wall. Looks dang good. First head on the wall in the house, we'll see how long it takes the wife to find it.  :bdid:   :chuckle:

Nice! If she doesn't find it right off you need to hang as many as possible before she notices.

Which character do you mean exactly?

Width was exactly 27" inside. I never have scored him, don't really have any want to. Guess he might be 160-165? Just a gorgeous buck.

At a first glance in my cell phone I was like “oh that’s a nice elk”

Then I actually looked at it and was like... “whaaaat”

Too cool man.  What a memory

Killer mount.  It looks awesome.  I like the idea of bringing the barn wall into the house.  Instant classic.
