Well, its done. Here is Travises archery bull from last year. Talk about MASS. Just cant get over the mass on that bull. I think it had 64 inches of mass. Alot of time went into modifying this form, from the head (add 1 1/2 inches),to the neck (from 32 to 38), briskett ( brisket is gay on this form so I fixed it  ;) ), turn ( didnt clear the wall so wwe gave it a harder turn to the right ) , cant to the head ( also to help clear the wall and just give it some charecter). All in all it was worth the time spent on such ans amasing trophy! Congrats Travis, thanks for all the help buddy!!

I still can't believe he got that little raghorn mounted.  It looks awesome.  I love the can't to the head too.  It adds a ton of realism. 
Dreams are forever on the mind, realization in the hands.

Nice Job!

I saw a dandy 7 x 7 last night that isn't far off in size, had drop tines coming from the bottom of the antlers at least a foot long between the G5's and G6's, it was a whopper!!!!!

Having seen this in person, it is a great piece of work. A great bull too.  I hope my moose turns out this good.

He probably has less experience with moose, but Charlie obviously has an eye for capturing real life and then the artisan ability to put it to form.    You all know I am a critic, and there isn't anything to criticize.

It looks good. I really like the character of that rack. Too bad you can't put it on the front of your pickup and drive around with it.
