Looks like a real live elk to me! I opened the thread and only saw the top part of the photo - thought it was a reference photo. ____________________________ If you died tomorrow, what would you have done today ... 2018 Zimbabwe - Tuskless w/ Nengasha Safaris 2011 Mozambique - Buffalo w/ Mashambanzou Safaris | |||

Pose and eyes first, then skin, etc. make a mount. Realistic horn/antler placement next. Looks like you score high in my book! _______________________ | |||

I think it is great. I especially like the interior detail of the mouth. It would be a wonderful addition to my trophy room! "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks." Robert Ruark | |||

Great looking mount for sure! If I could add a touch of constructive critisim, the ear butt placement and ear location need to be worked on a bit. Too low and at too harsh of an angle.. | |||

Well, I can tell you're certainly not in MY class. That piece is excellent work and the mouth detail is about as good as you'll get. RETIRED Taxidermist | |||
