Well got this one in around feb time frame. Did not know how it was going to turn out the cape had been cut wrong on it. But played with it and got some good advice from a buddy taxidermist up in Alaska. So here is the finished product. Enjoy the pictures, he is not a member on here but will try to talk him into becoming one so he can tell his story.

Some may notice the horns are past the back of the form, he is putting it on a beam across his man cave, so not worried about horn clearance.


Thanks all

I've seen bigger racks in Alaska, but never a shovel like that!!

Can you get Homesick for a place you vacation in?
