Moose mounts

[russm]

I was just wondering if anybody ever gets moose mounts done you always see people posting there deer etc but I don't think I've seen a moose mount done, probably something to do with the amount of space it'd need to be hung I would imagine?

[kennyj]

I did a euro on mine. A lot of work, but looks cool.
kenny

[Rackmastr]

Yep....I've euro mounted a few....never done a moose shoulder mount but hoping sometime in the next year or two I'll work on one. Big long nosed critters for sure!!

[russm]

Yea I was talking more along the lines of a shoulder mount

[BlacktailStalker]

My buddy has a 58" moose mounted in his house lol, I used to have a pic on my phone but deleted it.... His wife wasn't impressed when we hung it over the entrance when she was out but it is there to stay !!!

[Allen50]

theres a big moose head mount at the moose lodge in duncan off lakes road,,only one i have ever seen,,

[Stone Sheep Steve]

Big MOOSE shoulder mounts are very impressive! But not for every house.

I need a new house...and a big moose.

Lol it looks like he takes up a good portion of the room.

[cameron0518]

[Mr. Dean]

Either way, you need space...

[moose2]

My 2012 moose is at the taxidermist for a full shoulder mount. I will post pictures when it is done. I am not sure where I am going to put it yet, it will go over the tv, bed or where ever it fits. I am paying a bit extra to have the antlers detachable so it will fit in my place without any hassels. I only have 8' walls so I am getting a sneak mount pose so the antlers won't stick up quite so high.

If you put that thing over the bed you can forget any crazy manouvers in the bedroom.

With only 8' ceilings, it will always be a threesome.

Too funny, lol!

[Gateholio]

Moose shoulder mounts are huge and expensive. Not every house can fit one properly. I think the best place for them are at the top of stairs or on a wall beside stairs- somewhere with lots of head room. Even the Euros are big. I'd have nowhere to put one inside my house. Probably why we see so many moose antlers nailed above garage doors. :)

[IronNoggin]

Only ever shot one Biggie Moose. In my youthful zeal, I thought the Bigger the Better, and so was damn Proud of knocking over the largest on one particular hunt. Went over 58" wide, and yup, did have him shoulder mounted. Couldn't even get it in the door of the house we lived in back than... LOL! Ended up "migrating" to Idaho to take up a prominent position in Pa's 14 foot ceiling "Game Room" (which is more like a bloody museum than a game room!). Over the years quite a few of my "Best" have ended up in that same room - Kudu, my best whitetails, two best sheep, and more. Now with around 150 heads and hides, his "Game Room" is finally starting to get sort of full. :twisted:

Going to have to retrieve them some day, but methinks we'll be seeking a MUCH Larger place (or addition) before doing so...

Oh, and after chewing down for two years on that Beast of a moose, I've never shot another "big one" again!! Nor do I plan on doing so ever again. A thousand pounds of boot leather simply ain't my idea of Fine Eatin'... :wink:

Cheers,
Nog

I would love to see that "game room" Any pict's ? Sounds impressive..

[moose2]

My plans are to collect heads until I have no more room ( 5 to 10 years ). Then I would like to get a modest home built on property, designed for accomadating all the trophies. It will look a bit cramped for a while, but those are my plans. Hey Iron Nog I am with Rodd on that one any pictures of the game/trophy room.

Nice mount,what`s the wife/?G.F think of it?
I`m with Nog on the big ones,I got a 54 inch bull,all rutted up.The meat was kinda purple and a raw T-bone would bounce a foot if you dropped it on the floor.Damn Hamburger was tough.I ended up jarring the works,not bad but still not great.Dogs liked it though.:mrgreen:

Beauty. Belongs over the bed though.

I never had one done but I know that they do vary.
You'll need to call around and then go see some examples from the guys that you're considering.


I had a pic of an island monster bull elk but for some reason it's eluding me....

Found it hidden away in another online album (woosh!).

The antlers weren't detachable and I remember the PITA it was getting into my studio for shooting.
How it got into the owners house is beyond me....

[moose2]

Between your great photography and the great taxidermy it looks like that one is going to walk out of my computer screen. It looks amazing.

[The Dude]

Yup, Elk and Moose take up a lot of room . My old Man Cave:

You can barely see my only BC Moose on the other side of the Elk above. It's a decent Shiraz Moose (yeah, I said it, so what? :D )

What the hell is that thing on your moose skull?? Scary looking, and I'm not even scared of spiders!

[The Dude]

It's a Black Widow Spider, made of ball bearings and thin brazing rod. Pretty cool, huh?

What happening with the other 2 in the pic?
There's some serious bone-a-happenin' here......

[ianwuzhere]

elk mounts make impressive center pieces for a trophy room- very big and beautiful! Moose would also go very nice as well.
-dont think 8 foot walls would work very well tho- need them high ceilings to look the best.
- maybe one day ill dream bout my own place with 12+ foot walls :)

[kennyj]

Thats a beauty yama49. I love those brow tines that almost touch.Did you get that beast scored?
kenny

[kennyj]

Here's my euro moose. I like the way a euro shows the paddles off. A lot of mounts I've seen you can't really see the palms, just the under side.

Nice moose Kenny. Going do a thread one of these days about the hunt..

[hunter1947]

Some very nice elk ,moose mounts put up on this thread ,,the niece's moose mount I have ever seen in my life was that of a friend that lives in the EK this moose is in the top 100 in the B&C the mount is unreal..

[Apolonius]

Very nice moose.Not much of a fan for euro mounts but after i seen yours ...wow.You are very right about seeing the palms more.Got one shoulder mount and it is nice but this is impressive.....also mine is smaller...so!

[kennyj]

Nice moose Kenny. Going do a thread one of these days about the hunt..

Please do, good threads are scarce right now. I have to sit down and right a story about mine as well.
kenny

[moose2]

Nice euro Kenny a story would be great. Looking forward to your story Yama49 that bull is a hog. The ones around it look great as well.

I will guess 199 6/8

[hunter1947]

The bull moose mount that I saw it scored 208 B&C..

[panhead]

Used to work with a German bachelor who went moose hunting only once. Shot a monster and had it shoulder mounted. Used to drive by his little house and the sucker literally took up half the length of his living room. But then he joined a dating service, hitched up with a Japanese girl, married her, and pretty soon no more moose. Often wonder what happened to it ...

Up high and out of the way is best

[moose2]

That works and looks good up there sleep Robber. I wish I had that option.
Mike

[hunter1947]

I agree the place you have this mount is a great place to fill in ,,very nice indeed..

[BigSlapper]

2009 Region 3-18 LEH Bull (November Draw). Worked my ass off for the month in -20 degree weather. The memories were WAY to good not to have this guy mounted. Not a trophy bull by any means .... but a bunch of trophy memories.
