Fat Head

Had the privilege to put this giant Utah bull together. Had the biggest body and head of any elk I have ever had to work on. Huge bases and some super long tines.

Are you accepting new clients?

Thanks for noticing. To be able to achieve this you have to start with a great tan that is shaved properly. I actually didn't add any clay or sculpting to the form. But when it's nice and thin it will be able to show the anatomy. Should have a soft/natural bloom and not look like Arnold Schwarzenegger so to speak.

We are accepting new clients. I sent you a pm. The price is the price and the wait is the same for everyone. There are very few exceptions and we do offer a very few mounts for a expedited service fee. We have never had a shoulder mount longer than a year.

Thanks for noticing!! To me it's all in the eyes. Natural animal instinct is to make eye contact. If the eyes don't look right no could never tell you what the rest of the mount looks like.
