Elk Taxidermy Top of Texas Taxidermy

Ok, so with the Aoudad safely at some very happy clients house I am on to the next project. This is a Colorado elk that the customer requested I make a custom rustic barn wood base with some habitat for. I just finished building the base and below are pics. I will post a few pics of the base itself but alas I don't want to give away all my secrets so they will be limited a bit. I will however post progress pics of the whole project.

I'll be mock fitting the elk soon. I also made the antlers removable to make the piece easier to move around. I will probably do the same with the elk.

Oh I've been so excited to start this project. I love this elk. The client got it on public land in Colorado. Heck of an elk for a DIY public land hunt.
