'08 Muley Euro is now home!

[Elkhound]

Looks great Dean......Very cool...may have to do one...if I can ever get a buck worthy of a mount.

Rays work is incredible....was in his shop on the weekend and that guys work just gets better and better.

Looked at your wifes mount.....will look good. Even if the head is facing the wrong way LMAO

[cainer]

That's a great looking rack.

[Mr. Dean]

Very nice!! I'm starting to think that a clean Euro like that is nicer than a full mount.
Is that the color it was when you shot it? Freshly rubbed off?

Euro's CAN'T possibly replace a nicely done shoulder mount,,,, but they do hold there own ground and have merit, I believe. They're also an easily afforded way in displaying a Trophy and are worth every penny spent, then some.


I first spotted this guy on July 28/08 and he was just starting to slip his velvet then. The buck fell to my .300 Winny, on Sept 11/08 and yes, the colour is very close to what it was that very day. Other than a super light swipe of linseed oil to help make the grain of the antlers 'pop', it's about as natural as natural can be - I just like the way the oil defines the horn character.

OMG!!! Ray's gonna have a fit - He'll now be staying up all night thinking that people, are out there thinking that he puts heads on backwards.

....And who am I to say any different.


But you're right - That beast is gonna look sweet, even with a twisted up noggin'.

When it comes, the Euro's will be needing new residence. With them sitting on my TV/audio cabinet, they simply won't allow enough wall room for it.


Dilemmas.......

Good news is, is that Mrs. Dean gets REALLY receptive with new ideas, once I 'slip' her some of my meds.

[sawmill]

Very nice!What does something like that cost?

You know what..... I'm now looking at these horns and comparing them to that pic - The tones look 'warmer'.


I made the shot using available light coming in through a set of sliding doors. The back ground is my kitchen wall. It looks as though light has reflected off it, casting its tones with it, as well.

If ya wanna pay me,,,, I'll set it up all over again and wait for the light to cast directly onto the mount, yielding a 'better' tonal image. That, or we could set up the lights....

Your choice. At $65/hr, I'm pretty easy.


But remember, I'm a novice and while the houly rate appears cheap, I make up for it in time while fumbling around.
