I got my mount back earlier this week. Very happy with the work that Tru-Life Taxidermy in Laurel, MT did. Here are some pictures to show it off, and for fun - Let's play, guess the score. I will post up the official measurements after some guess have been submitted.
A couple of other interesting tidbits - This bull has an odd blonde streak on his face. The taxidermist believes it is an old scar that healed up and the hair color never returned, said he had never seen anything like it in is 20+ years. Also, his cape was full of old shotgun pellets. Being a public land elk, I would guess endless ideas as to how he ended up with pellets in his hide!!
