Elk shoulder Mount Options
HUNT:
I am doing a shoulder mount for my elk this year and was hoping to get some suggestions on what would look good. I was hoping some of the Taxi's would offer their opinions since they see them all the time. I put a vaulted ceiling in the living room when I built the addition that is 16 ft at the peak, so height isnt an issue. I was thinking something that turned to the left, but let me know what you think.

I like a sneak or semi-sneak pose, slight turn left or right. This minimizes wall space and highlights the the details of the face. I'm not a big fan of bugling poses. :twocents:
HUNT:
I'm not a fan of the bugling poses either. I guess I should have mentioned that.

-I'm in the same dilemma, I'm liking this one pose the best I think, its a left turn with the head sorta looking down and it really showes off the top tines of my bulls rack, bucklucky may have a pic of the pose, But I'm still not 100% sure yet. Sorry BL, lol!
bow4elk:
It kind of goes without saying but walk through your house and figure out where you want it or where it will best fit. For example, a left turn pose will look funny if it doesn't look into the room or open space. If you might move in the future, you might consider a more straight-on or very slight turn to get the most versatility in the future.
That is a great bull and will make a great mount. Congrats again!
