I have short ceilings and need some ideas on how to mount my bull?!?!? I'm thinking a 90 degree turn with his head kicked back a little to run his antlers horizontal.
-
That's a good way to do it. We usually try to turn the head out in to the room a little more so it's not a 90 degree turn, for viewing purposes. Depends on the size of the antlers as to how far you can turn it until the antlers hit the wall.
-
It has a 43" spread and we took lots of cape do of need be I can throw some spacers on the back of the mount. I don't really have anything set in stone just throwing around ideas at the moment. Also thought about having him come out of the wall at a 45 with a 45 mount and head tipped back.

Sounds like a good canditate for a pedistal mount. And that will make it a little more mobile if you need to move him around.
-
What's a pedestal cost on an elk?
-
Here is a 45 I did .
-
Pedestal mount I did . This bull is 45 wide outside. Big variation on pedestal mount prices as there are a ton of options.

Thats really a nice job Charlie. You are amazing!

I used Peyser taxidermy in Selah with mine. I drew a schematic of the wall with the dimensions of where it was going and he adjusted the mount to fit in the limited space that i had. I see alot of taxidermists here on this web forum and I am sure that anyone of them with much experience can take the horns that you have and a dimension drawing of where you want it and come up with something that will work or be able to tell you it cant be done. Good Luck!

Holy heck. I am taking a bull to Charlie one of these days!
-
How much cape do you need for a pedestal.
-
That looks even more impressive complete! I saw it right before it was done at the shop and I have to say, your quality of work speaks for itself!
