Good bull. Glad you finally got him back. I had same thing happen on a whitetail...literally took the guy two years, but he was old and had health issues to. My buddy who does my stuff now can have most everything done in 6 months and he does good work. He just doesn't overwhelm himself with too much work.

What a Great looking bull! I like the mount with the bull looking down slightly! Just awesome! Congrats
We actually had to tilt his dead down to clear the wall because his antlers lay back more than they go up. He skull was damaged right below his right pedicle and probably why his antler grew funny. It lays back and out a little more than other and is way shorter

My taxidermist told me that once he starts a deer or other big game shoulder mount it only takes about a week to finish that animal. Its having enough room to keep several of the same animal on the same rotation so they are all drying at the same pace that slows him down...he also just does Taxidermy on the side, so take it as it is.
