Rocky Mountain Elk 'Wall Pedestal' Bull (BlackRiver Taxidermy)
« on: November 19, 2018, 04:00:38 AM »
Guy got this bull years ago circumstances what they were, was not able to save the cape. After years as a euro he decided to shoulder mount the bull. His original bull had a 'real white cape', so after finding a cape of appropriate coloration and size he also made the request for a 'wall pedestal' form, which is not typically sold. After some pretty serious modifications and alterations including head position I created a wall pedestal form. The challenge is wall clearance for the headgear. Thought I would post the outcome..Enjoy- Joel/BRT.

I really like the pose - beautiful work  :tup:
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

Strong, capable, effective leaders don't spend all day, every day, issuing threats and ultimatums.

I'm a Never Trumper ...... and I've been right the whole time.

Even the stupid people are starting to get it

Incredible work
The lazy do not roast any game, but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.
