... yeah [b]kevhogAZ[/b], AZ has the largest Elk in the world!
... I'm sure this is the largest rack I've ever seen if it's not been "Photoshopped" |

San Carlos Res. is some seriously expensive elk hunting! The current World Record came from there as well. The trophy fee on that one there will probably be in excess of 50K.

Close [b]CIB[/b], about 27K for resident trophy. I've hunted cows twice on the Rez and it is just God beautiful up there. The Indians have always been friendly to us on our cow hunts but they're very protective of the "sweet spots". They keep those secrets to themselves. This elk was taken by a guide that lives on the Rez. |

Why was it beheaded? Wouldn't it be better as a bust mount?

Winston I thought I read somewhere that the guy who killed the current world record there paid 43K and some change for the trophy fee? Don't know if he was a resident or not though. Year before last my Dad and Uncle drove out there to bird hunt, said there were lots of birds but they would'nt hold on point, just run through the underbrush. They too said the locals were protective of the "sweet spots", guess I would be to if they were bringing in that kind of cash.

Quoted: Why was it beheaded? Wouldn't it be better as a bust mount? I'm reasonably sure the taxidermist would do the same thing for a cape mount. The part you don't see in the picture is the hide, and that would be one of the primary determining factors for a cape mount. Of course I'm not a taxidermist, so I might be talk'n out my a$$. |

Damn nice Elk.
The skull cap (very top that holds the antlers) will be the olny thing used to make the mount. |
