Elk Foot Lamp (MNTaxidermy)
« on: May 07, 2010, 05:22:09 PM »
Thought you guys might get a kick out of this.  I had a client ask me if I could mount an elk foot he had in the freezer and make it into a lamp.  He has only had it in the freezer :yike: since 2003.  I said sure.  Thinking it was just going to be an elk foot.  Well.....not so much so.  This elk he had killed with his bow (instinctual bow hunter) had stepped into a cedar knot and it was stuck between his hoof and his dew's.   



No the lamp is not tilting to one side.  The bench I have it sitting on is.   :chuckle:

that is too cool.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

The form I used for the lamp was for a moose.  The one they provided for an elk was to small.
