Examples of Elk mount with 8ft ceiling limitations

[NDGuy]

Does anyone have any particular forms or mounts that work well with standard 8ft ceilings? Trying to figure out where to put my bull I got in ND this year. I'd rather not put him in the garage.

Buy a new house that centers around your new art piece.

Time to vault those 8ft ceilings.

I have same problem, and I am doing a full sneak with a partial turn. An example is attached.

Pedestal mount is probably the best option

I thought about pedestal, but they are significantly more expensive in my area. My taxi is charging $875 for the mount and additional $200 for removable horns.

Pedestal was another few hundred

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

Expensive!?

No..

Cheap compared to raising the roof or moving. You have few options.

Spike?
Or 7x7 with backscratchers?

Its like adding a new member to the family. At least you always have company to hang out and drink some whiskey with.

If you have a stairwell to the basement, you can put him on the wall over that. Or you can build a pedestal and put him on that in a corner. My uncle and I built this pedestal in one day with about $75 worth of beetle kill pine. It's just over 26" high, 26" wide, and 38" deep, and built it so I could put a regular wall shoulder mount on it. That way the mount can go on a wall or the pedestal.

I have the same constraints and have decided to go pedestal mount as well. With removable head/ and removable antlers so I can get it downstairs into the den.

Put him on the footboard of your bed.

5miles nailed it. Pedestal is likely the best option, but stairwells can work if it fits.

 

[GotDraw?]

Put him on the footboard of your bed.

better yet, mount the elk rack on the wall above your bed's headboard for inspiration and something to hang on to.

Euro mount attached to wall just above a sideboard table- like a piece of art
