Title: Crazy elk ( Cedar River Taxidermy)
Post by: cedarriver on April 22, 2014, 08:56:30 AM: Mike's west side bull. Not sure what this guy got tangled up with but it sure messed with his antlers. Right ear was disfigured as well, put about three hours of reconstructive surgery into it to make it look half way normal. bull was 2 1/2 years old as well. A lot of antler growth for such a young elk. Had about 320 inches of antler. Thanks for looking, Rick

Post by: cedarriver on April 23, 2014, 07:47:53 AM: Appreciate the compliments everyone.
Yes skinning around those pedicles was a challenge, Lol. He was a 2013 early archery bull with some velvet still on the bases, we darkened the antlers some, they are not as red as they appear in the photos.
Thanks, Rick

Title: Re: Crazy elk ( Cedar River Taxidermy)
Post by: cedarriver on April 25, 2014, 09:18:31 AM: Thanks all. Steen I think he had at least 9 points on each side. Fishhunt I didn't see any in the field photos, Mike may have some but not sure? His left side looks a little like a Pierre David Deer. lol
Thanks again, Rick
