Roosevelt bull out the door (Charlies Taxidermy)
« on: December 18, 2009, 10:42:34 AM »
Well, it has been a buisey year this year and I havent had much of a chance to take time to post any pitures. Its back to mounting and finishing, the past 2 and a half months all I been doing was capping , flershing , and salting. Now I get to play catch up on about 8 mounts left over from last year  :bash: Anyway, here is a nice little muzzleloader kill Roosevelt bull a client of mine killed. 2 months prior he had a stroke and decided he better get one mounted. If I remember right he has killed 26 elk and 16 are bulls, this one not being his biggest. Enjoy the pics. I even put up some close ups so you can see the detail work and cleanliness of my mounts.

Wow, fantastic work Charlie.  I think you do the best eyes I have ever seen...

I was just thinking the same thing.  I'm going to remember this thread next time I am doing a set of eyes... :)

If Charlie lived closer I would farm Pathfinder Jr out to him as slave labor and hope he picked up some secrets... :chuckle: :chuckle:
