Here’s the head of the elk that I took on the hunt that I described on this thread: https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/11624542/Searchpage/1/Main/800021/Words/roosevelt/Search/true/Re:_First_Elk,_First_Roosevelt#Post11624542 ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/p4x5Ums.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/YImbKgq.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/oLjFZgI.jpg) The work was done by http://www.beaconhillbiological.com/ in Toutle, WA, which also works under the name Skullduggery. When I dropped the head off in early November, the proprietor told me it would be ready in 60 days, but he finished up quite a bit earlier. I haven’t had time to get down there until recently, and I wanted to share it with everyone here. Not the biggest Roosevelt bull ever taken, but it’s mine. Okie John
If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

That's a classic dark Roosevelt beauty. Love that long sweeping main beam.

I can appreciate a good skull mount. I am too poor and space limited to get shoulder mounts. I have antelope bear , hog and elk heads here and Like the look of them. The fact they are less maintainence is a extra side bonus.
