Elk European Side Mount (BlackRiver Tax.)
« on: April 14, 2019, 10:03:20 AM »
Different style mounting for a side profile on this Roosevelt bull. Customer wanted a unique look on the mount so along with the rough cut/weathered trim style on the barnboard plaque I also attached the two shells he gave me for the harvest on this bull. Thank you to the owner for the work.

I think that is the first European side mount I have ever seen. Nice.

Cool, I was wondering if you'd post those on here. I was really excited to get it home. Haven't had a chance to hang it yet, but I'll get a photo when I do. Thanks again, Joel. It's great work.

Outstanding work as always Joel!

I highly recommend Joel for your Taxi work, especially Euro's.   He knows what he is doing and has a great setup for doing the Euros.  He is very receptive to hunter's ideas on what they want to see in their finished mount, is creative and offers option to get the finished product you want.

I used Joel for my Euro bear mount in my avatar after he shared details about the right way to do a euro with in a thread.  I figured anyone willing to share tools of his trade openly like that was worth giving a shot.  I had an idea for how to incorporate the arrow in the mount, and he took it to the next level with a change in arrow position and using the claws to hold it.

He does awesome "std form mounts" as well, but if you want a mount with that is unique and done with some creativity and uniqueness that stands out from the rest, Give Joel a call.
