Title: Shane's Custom Bugling Blue Mtn. Bull ** TRAILS END TAXIDERMY **
Post by: Kuduman on July 27, 2011, 10:59:08 AM: Hey folks thought you might like this:
Shane came into the shop and dropped off his bull and asked for a bugling mount, but instead of the standard bugling mount he asked if I could lay the head back farther and really wrinkle the nose. I said no problem and went right to work altering a standard bugling form. Here is the adjustments I made. At first I thought I had layed it too far back but after some sculpting and test fitting the cape. I was satisfied that I had achieved what the customer had desired.

Thanks for the comment. As far as the eyes..... about 6 months ago I traded Charlie a few African capes for some one on one time in his shop. I wanted to know how he got his elk eyes so perfect. Much to my suprise we were doing things pretty much the same with a few minor differences. After a few hundred dollars spent on a new air brush and mixing some different colors together I'm finally doing eyes that warrent close up pics...........Thanks Charlie :tup:

P.S. My customers are lovin the elk mounts this year, So much so that I got about a dozen calls after the draw results were made public.
