Title: Well that took more space then I thought (non turkey)
Post by: TauntoHawk on March 24, 2018, 10:36:10 PM
Idaho National Forrest Bull

Excited to immortalized an incredible memory I shared with my father this past fall.

Took up way more wall space then I anticipated wouldn't fit where we originally tried to put it but happy with where it ended up just need to move some other stuff around now.

Beautiful mount, I have a space picked out for one of those if I can find one dumb enough to let me put an arrow through him.

Nice looking bull. Hoping to get one myself this year. Doesn't have to be as nice either. That's a really nice mount man.

Fantastic, wish I could have had memories like that with my father, he was not much of a hunter.

Thanks I turned 30 and he was 59 (close enough to 60) and we wanted to take a big trip together before sleeping in tents and climbing mountains no long interested him.

It was a once in a lifetime trip we will surely hope to do again lol

Haha that's what I told my buddy I was like wanna make some Catskill mountain deer look like coues deer in a hurry.... Slap an elk next to them

The buck will move he just happened to be there previous so when we were done I just threw it back up until I figure out the rearrange.

We intended and tried to put him on that wall you see to the left but his one beam swung out too far and wouldn't fit under the slant of the ceiling. It took 6'6" of clearance from the bottom of the rock scenery to the top tine

My one of a kind wife tells me now you need a turkey up there to complete it...

I've been waiting for years for a real stud of a bird always think the next will be bigger
