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.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.

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

Huckleberry moose huh? That is awesome. I grew up hunting whitetails around there and have seen a few moose, lots of sign but never a bull like that! Awesome!!!  :drool:

Great looking bull and the mount looks great. 

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

awesome bull.

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.
Shut up and Hunt!

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
