OK, that makes sense.  I have always liked the open mouth head turned mount for elk.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

OK, I have finally got back to this mount and worked on the rocks. Here are some pictures kind of showing the process of building the rock pile. I cant beleive how many hours I have in making rocks  :chuckle: I wish every mount I did was this fun!!!

The first set are the rocks being built with chicken wire , burlap soked in plaster of Parris, and alot of hand work  :tup:
