This was a nightmare bull to start. Customer brought it to me to re-mount. The origional mount had the eye guards sitting just above the bridge of the nose and had the skull cap broke to clear the wall (definately not the correct way to make the antlers clear the wall), it was about 5 inches narrower than the rack should have been via score sheet. This was not kosher with my customer so I told him I could fix it and make it right. So a new cape and me changing my mind on how I wanted to modify the form many times, this is what I came up with . I sure hope this brings back good memmories of his trophy instead of displeasure everytime he looked at it on the wall. Too bad the origional mount was only 3 years old Lesson learned, make sure the taxidermist you take it to does the quality of work you expect so you dont have to pay to have it done again.

That was an Eastmans' bull featuring a bull I had taken as well.. "The father son duo". Also was the article that announced me winning the hunt with Cameron Hanes.. What an awesome bull - another HUGE congratulations to my ol' man!! My true hero!!
First thing that came to mind when I saw that bull! :)

It was in the May/June issue of Eastmans' Bowhunting Journal 2008. The one with David Long and his big backcountry muley on the cover..
Here are the two bulls that were in the article.. His was taken on Sept 9th, and mine was the next day Sept 10th, 2007.
