Hopefully start building new home soon when weather is better in spring. side pic. Backs are a bit weak, mass was pretty good. Really old big bodied bull. Not fun packing it out lol. Think was regressing. Rough scored in 340's according to taxidermist Not the biggest horn guy though He was screaming and destroying a tree when I shot him from below. Taxi suggested the pedestal with a tree. Turned out pretty good Last edited by ribka; 02/19/21.

My buddy was about about 600 to 800 yards away bugling and hitting antlers together , this bull screaming in return and tearing up this tree while I put the sneak on.Can see bull in the background. Didn't run too far thank God. Last edited by ribka; 02/19/21.

I was fortunate to draw a muzzle season tag in Colorado and got a bull and drew a cow tag here in Michigan for later the same year. I mounted both together on a pedestal. I don't think they take up as much room as a wall mount.

I don't think they take up as much room as a wall mount. I wasn't too keen on pedestal at first but have run out of wall space. Changed my mind on pedestal mounts and on wheels and at floor level much easier clean and move. I have a few antelope lope and mulie euros think do another pedestal . Congrats on your elk! That MI tag is a rare draw Last edited by ribka; 02/19/21.
