Examples of Elk mount with 8ft ceiling limitations

Well were gonna move and having all you're mounts done to face certain ways for certain walls can really screw ya when you move.

We just moved into our new place back in Sept it'll be a long term home for us.

I did a some habitat instead of a cabinet on a bull I got mounted. I don’t really care for the wood cabinet bases.

Just something else to consider depending on your personal taste

What a room

Rack Hub. We only pack out antlers, saves weight also no CWD spread, cheap and takes up less room. Got to leave room for all the other racks

Luckily had a truck to help pack him out

Really liked these examples and this is what I sent my taxidermist

I used to visit a customer at his home in N/W Montana. He had four BIG bull shoulder mounts in the living room of his double wide trailer. There was hardly room for us to sit and have a conversation. They were all sneak poses with right or left turns . Dude definitely had his priority's straight.

ND, I think you chose wisely.

My bull deserves to be honored, was a year to remember.

 

[Scoot]

Yep, I bet it turns out great!

I've found that having 8' ceilings and a living room full of taxidermy (in a pretty small house) is best accomplished by not having a wife. Plus when the 16 year old daughter brings a boyfriend over he is a little uncomfortable... I love it!!!

I just decided to euro mount everything for now. Saves a lot of space but can still fit in the house.

Yep for sure, I euro most things but the ND Bull and MT Whitetail I took last year were two phenomenal animals that I likely will never top.

Do what I did, buy a house with a massive vaulted ceiling, but only shoot the smallest elk you can find. Never any height issues

You mean shoot the antelope buck?

If you can spend money on a mount, vault the ceiling. And you never look down on a trophy.

Are you saying a shoulder mount and a house remodel are approximately the same cost?
Cause shoulder mount $1500
Converting an 8ft ceiling house to vaulted would be $50,000-100,000 is a guess.

If you can afford a coffee in the morning you can afford to buy a coffee company.

Is this kinda like the recommendation for those who are driving a '89 Honda Civic should buy a $60K electric car to take care of the high gas price problem?

I have a 3700 sq ft rambler home. I think it would be preeeeetty spendy to make vaulted ceilings in the basement.

 

[Scoot]

That's what I would think too, but I guess it's no big deal- if you can afford a shoulder mount, apparently you can afford the house remodel (I read it on the internet, so it's obviously true).
