Very very nice looking mount.  Congrats to your wife.

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Good looking mount.  I bet that was a chore to get it hung up that high on the wall.

Great looking bull and the mount looks great. 

Looks like he got the flash bulb just before the barrel flash too.

Thanks for the compliments! It was fun getting him up there!!! I don't think I have ever hit the screw head with the bracket on the first try!!!
He ended up Net 143 and some change. Grossed 152 and change.

Tell the wife Nice Bull! I was drooling over that when Mike was doing the finish work. Maybe this year I'll get a chance to put one on the wall.

Great Moose.  Take a credit card or something and tuck the hair behind the mount on top so you have a nice crisp edge where it meets the wall
