My WA Cow Moose Euro Mount is Done! Yes, I said Cow Moose.
« on: March 06, 2012, 07:57:38 AM »
Thought I would share. I shot this Monster Cow in the Hangman B Unit. I was getting ready to throw the head away and my hunting partner said "you should get a Euro mount of that!" I said, that would be dumb, it is a cow! And then he said well you may never get another chance to shoot a WA Moose again in your life. I thought about it and said , "what the hell!". I am very glad I did it. looks kind of cool in  my office. The bullet casings at the bottom were the ones I used from my late fathers rifle.

Thought I would share. It was done by Mike Sumpter in Spokane at SouthHill Taxidermy.

Congrats!  Did it take three rounds to drop, or are those bullets for display only?

Good for you....a trophy is a trophy and besides, many of us have never had an opportunity to put a moose on the wall. Looks great man. By the way, how are the steaks! :EAT:

Well If I am being honest, I am a bowhunter of 25 years and have not shot this rifle since before then other than sighting in for this hunt. I brought my bow as well and it was my primary weapon. But I did not get the opportunity I wanted with the bow so when I saw this huge cow out at 120 yards looking at me I grabbed the gun from my partner and knelt down. I missed with the first two rounds and dumped her with the 3rd. She was walking. My nerves had a bit to play with it, I am guessing.... :chuckle:
