Show me your moose mounts, I need to pick out a pose for my bull! Thanks!
Looks awesome2005 Idaho archery bull, left hand sneak. My modest home only has room for so much taxidermy, sneak poses take less space. As you can see the fan barely clears.

Great thread!
Not to derail, but any AK hunters have a recommendation for taxidermy guy in Fairbanks for moose shoulder mount?
I figure even an average job up there probably better than best job here in NW Florida.
Open to concept of shipping cape and antlers out and having done elsewhere.
Also spoke with one really nice taxi guy in Fairbanks and he said $3,500 for mount and $500 for removable antlers. Said budget $2,000 for crate and shipment to NW Fl. $5,000 for a mount is getting right pricey!
This all just planning. Obviously we need to have success first, but want to budget for worst.... ( And also the best, hahaha) case scenario.
Shit I have a guy in Nebraska doing mine for 1200 if I get one!
I’d spend the time and take it to Knight’s taxidermy in anchorage they did my caribou and it’s amazingGreat thread!

So with my moose I just had the cape tanned in Alaska and sent to me in New Mexico and I just traveled with the rack, my caribou I had the entire thing done in Alaska and shipped home..... very expensive!!!10-4. I found simplicity of dropping off in Fairbanks appealing, but I guess that simplicity comes at a cost. How you getting cape and antlers to NB?
For me, traveling from about as far as you can in the US presents a few challenges. That's a long questionable trip for cape. Could ship it and antlers to lower 48 and then have mounted and crated to me once complete, I guess. Or could try and travel with antlers (makes me nervous), have cape tanned in AK and then shipped to me.
Again, not trying to highjack. Thread related, though. Just curious how other folks have done it. Would love to hear success and unsuccessful stories / methods.
