elk wall mount ??

[NEEHAMA]

i just chopped the antlers off my 6x7 van island rosey elk (that i shot dec 06/05!!) toot toot , i was wondering if i can buy a elk horn mount kit? i've seen them for deer. or should i have it pro done? and how can i keep my antlers nice and dark rich browney looking? i hate when they pale out.

those mule deer sheds in my avatar are mounted on big horn sheep mount, might work for an elk, everyone says they look like elk antlers. hope it help you out a bit.

wow thanks for the offer. however i'm on the mainland. i did mount my deer horns on one of those kit's you can buy and it looks not bad. i was wondering what i could do with this large rack to make it look good? any pic's?

Jigsaw and a piece of wood, thats how I did my sons mount for a moose, there so big, usually you can't find anything big enough, so I cut my own.

Congrats on the elk. Did you post some pics? If so I missed them. Did you get that guy high up or were you low down by the airstrip? I think it was you I sent some maps to earlier via Marc.

Did you cut the antlers off seperately or did you cut off the top part of the skull w/ the antlers attached?

i know what you mean by thick slash. i got one in october and it too 4 days to find a big one. seven hours to get it to the truck. big and beautiful though. it was deffinetly worth it.

You can order some good mounting stuff from AAA Taxidermy in Alberta.
