My first Moose mount is drying! (Charlie's Taxidermy)

[bucklucky]

Well, I thought I would post some pictures of Ridgerunners moose he killed last year. It is the first moose I have had an opportunity to do. I started with a wallmount form and made it into a pedestal which ended up being more involved than expected  Anyway, here are some pictures of the form and the prepped cape and finally the mount which is not finished and is in the drying ? grooming stage. Enjoy the pics!!

Looking good, when it is finished if you don't mind taking some close ups of it, I need some reference pictures for a moose

That moose mount looks big in the pictures and even bigger in person. Looks good. Where you putting that thing.

Looks like I need to kill a moose now!  Nice!

What I like most about Charlie is that fact that he continually builds his portfolio with exceptional work.  I always look at cougar mounts to gauge taxidermists' eye for detail and realism because in a cat mount, it's all about the face proportions and expression.  When I saw Charlie's first cat, I knew he was the guy who would mount my first mature blacktail.  Since that time I've seen a number of killer BT mounts come out of his garage, which has only added fuel to the fire.  Got my first good blacktail and it was in his shop the very next morning!  Can't wait but it'll be well worth it.

Thanks Tom!  Much appreciated ! Hopefully you will be seing a few more Lion mounts comming out of my shop in the future. I have my buddies I will be doing in the next few minths and a few that are pending. In fact just got a call from a client of mine that is on his way back from Arizona with one!

Moose and squirrel! Moose and squirrel! I've been wanting to kill Moose and squirrel!!!

Great job!

Given the fact that moose aren't the most majestic looking creatures, I would say that this looks like a good mount.
