5 X 5 Elk Mount

Just did the finnish work on this guy. The left antlet is bent back and to the side. Some kinda birth defect I guess. I have a picture of just the rack floating around somewhere in another post. The first pic was taken befor I cleaned off the antlers, lol.
Here is a better view of the twist in the rack. Hard to see in the other photos

He was really young. Maybe 2 1/2 years old. Only 10 1/4" eye to nose and a 22" neck. Nice cape on him.

i dont blame anyone for shooting a branch antlered bull, but my, if he was 2 and a half, which i think is pretty close, he would be a GREAT bull in three or four years.

I may be off on the age but I don't think so. I know it was taken with a bow so it might have been the guys first bow kill. The rack has got some character IMO. Othet than the left antler being a bit cockeyed the #4's are turned in as well.

I send them out to have them tanned. They are an hour or so away from me so I drive to them for pickup and delivery. Their tan's are top notch! I am very picky when it comes to a tannery.
