CO elk mount

nmtaxi · Jun 23, 2004

Here is one of these whopper 300 CO bulls (just kidding). It's kind of funny, though, after the discussion last week. My customer killed this bull in CO, and said the guide told him it would score at lest 300. It acutally scored about 240, but it's a real pretty bull. I had to fix some points on it, but I don't think they're noticable. Let me know what y'all think. I used a new form on this one, and really liked it, but would like to hear other opinions. (sorry about the mess)

I like that form alot. It looks real and you can run an extention cord through the nose. Good work on a pretty mount.

ps - your garage is alot cleaner than mine.

Just curious but how old do you all think that bull was?

I would guess that bull was no more than 4 1/2 years (just going by body size). It still had some growing to do. Given another couple of years, he might have turned into a real nice bull. When I was thinning the cape on this bull, I pulled half of a mountain lion tooth from it's forehead. It had already healed on the hair side, and was worked down in the skin. It did a number on my fleshing machine.
