880" of elk in one pic.....

[Fiftydriver]

Stopped by my taxidermists shop to discuss with him the details on a 300 RUM project he is having me build for him. Walked through the front door of the shop and saw this:

My 466" bull on the left Dan, my taxidermist in the middle and my brothers 414" on the right. He said that they would be finished by next weekend, then I will have to hire some hands to get them both safely hoisted up onto the shop wall.

Anyway, it was quite a sight to see when you walk through the door. I am sure they will have the same effect on the shop wall as well!!!

By the way, the blue tape on the tips of the main beams are for the employees at the shop. Seems they were sick of running into them. They all told me they liked working with this type of critters but they will also be happy to see them go so they get half the shop floor back!!! LOL

Just thought some would like this pic.

Will post more then they are finished.

****, that just makes me sick. I'm gonna have to take my little 6x6 down off the wall and throw him in the garbage now after seeing those two together.

They looked great in the field pictures and I was wondering what they would look like mounted. They will be AWESOME

Congrats again to you and Korey.....fantastic bulls that you can really be proud of. And, it's a good thing your shop is as big as it is.

That sux, I mean really really sux

hell no I'm not jealous. Envy isn't even in my vocab.

I think I'll just go sit in the closet and eat worms.

Wow!

Those will definitely stop the crowd.

Kirby , I've long suspected that you have a

MEAN streak behind all those smiles . Now I'm convinced !!

Seriously , what the heck does a set of antlers that size weigh ? Thanks for the pix , like to see them when finished .

Better reinforce the shop wall. You will need a flat bed and a crane to get that big boy on the wall. Nice pic.

 

[yama49]

nice racks.. got to get me one of those critters.

 

[landcbeitner]

Beautiful! Can't wait to see a pic of the finished product.

Thanks for posting the picture. I guess that's the only way I'm going to see a big elk.
