First pic is the bare form, then I show the cape all detailed out. After that I bucked the nose off so I could hog out the nasal detail as per referance and then bondoed the thing back on
I think the 4th pictures shows my fix on the skull cap, it had half of the back part of the skull blown off so I fixed it with bondo/fiberglass mixture.

Next is getting the form prepped for hide paste. Then the claywork to the face so I can start slapping the hidpatse on , and then off to streaching the cape onto the form!

Nice bench leg. Dandy buck.
That's no bench leg. I know where he shot it and it is definitely pure blacktail. Nice buck logger, that's a buck of a lifetime. Charlie, you do awesome work.

thanks charlie, That will probaly be the only one I have mounted as it took me 20 years to harvest a animal worthy of mounting. As always great great job :brew:You mean you didn't want to mount all those spikes and does you shot! I think I saw that buck on the side of the road dead, I was wondering who picked him up, I fiquered it would be some desperate hunter, probably would have him mounted, then brag to everybody how he shot him with a muzzleloader, at 10 yrds. :chuckle: Good Job Logger, or is that stroker! From all that bragging you probably had to get a bigger hard hat!!! :IBCOOL:

Not to thread jack but I just saw a buck that I believe will be very similar to the this one by the end of the year. Absolute pig and he was feeding right next to the highway at about 10:00 last night. Wish I could have gotten a picture or two of him! :bash:
Well you just gona have to prove it , I dont beleive ya :chuckle: Kill that thing during hunting season and drop it by so I can see if it really is as big :P Thats one heck of a buck man, keep tabs on that bad boy!
Post by: elkkiller on July 11, 2010, 09:20:13 AM
Elkmisser missed a 4pt. buck during rifle season at 30 yds. 4 times while he was road hunting behind a locked gate in a disabled unit. :tree1: :sas: :sas:I know you got that buck at NW Trek! Was it hard shooting from a moving tourist rig? I heard you made that old grandma gut and pack it while you slept on the bench dreaming of the Big Monster Elk that I killed. :chuckle: Don't Worry, I'll send you a autographed picture of Me and my BIG Bull Elk!!! You can put it next to your pillow at night so you can dream of being a successful hunter like me. For the right money, I can train you, might take a while though!!!

A good buddy of mine has some trail cams in the area so maybe he can get some pictures of him. Another buddy has the multi season permit so we will se if we can find him again.
