Pics of different moose mounts, need help deciding a pose!
« on: March 20, 2023, 03:25:17 PM »
The wife and I decided to get a shoulder mount done on her OIL Wa moose, was leaning toward a semi sneak head straight.  We have a 12’ ceiling at the highest peak. Was hoping to see some examples and hear thoughts, searched the internet but looking for ideas on here.

An old friend had one that was stunning. The head was turned to the side and the outermost antler dipped slightly, with the eye wide and looking right at you.

He can't. He's dead. I don't know the survivors. He had some great African mounts, too.

Just remember you need to get it into your house when done.

Personally, I would stick with the Euro.  I'm just not into shoulder mounts of moose, it looks like they are up there smiling on the wall, like having my horse up there.

Of all my mounts…..my moose is my least favorite from a shoulder mount perspective.   It is a gorgeous mount, but just hard to display and really appreciate.   They really shine as a center point of a room….like above a rock fireplace.  When we build our next house, the living room will be built specifically for that moose. 

Only reason I would shoulder mount another, would be if my kids shoot a big one.  Otherwise the euro is the way to go with moose.

Here’s a couple that were shortened in the neck about 8” - fits better in room.

I’m biased toward the euro.
