Nope, I don't mess with the little woman's cooking. I added a bag of frozen crab claws and stuff one time. Never again.

Did Magic get his wings clipped? :D
I know what you're talking about.....I messed with the cooking once....and only once.

My first thought was to get a skull mount, but after getting the bull down, I decided that maybe I would get a full shoulder mount, and packed the whole 65 pounds down off of the mountain.

After measuring and doing some soul searching, a shoulder mount just will not work. It would become something that we would have to live with instead of enjoying.

I am going to do a plaque mount and use the natural head hide as a covering.

I just got back home from the taxidermist. He is going to use a slight left turn and downward sloping form which should make him fit nicely in the Cabin Addition. Now I gotta finish the Cabin Addition,

I tell most people that's the reason I'm building a log cabin-somewhere to hang up all my animals.

But I changed it since that post. There was not enough room so that we could enjoy it rather than "living" with it. Elk are huge animals. It is going to be an antler mount and using the skin from the head as a covering.
