Congrats!!!  That is quite an achievement.  I love them big blackies.   Could you include a pic to refresh our memories?

 Should be a great mount, thanks all. Little FYI too, I took it to Stewart's for processing and had carefully cut the cape around the front haunches, so all they had to do was peel a little back off the neck, hide intact. I told them several times that I was doing a shoulder mount as soon as I walked in the door. Before I realized what they were doing, they made a slit up the FRONT of the cape :yike:
I had to pay an extra $75 to the taxidermist to repair the damage.

 Peters Taxidermy (in Graham) does great work, they take for frigging ever, but it's worth it. If anyone can fix it, I think they can (I hope).

It can be fixed.  Takes a little more time to repair so it won't show.
