I shot a big bull several years ago and have just had the antlers on the wall but am now thinking of doing up a head mount of him. My problem is space....I have one corner of the living room where he might fit. Best I can figure, I have 41"X41"X6' tall to work with before it sticks too far out into the room and will get bumped into and be a nuisance. If you good folks with head mounts would be so kind as to measure up your mounts in regards to how much space they take up I would really appreciate it.....basically, how big a cardboard box would you need to comfortably fit your mount inside and be able to close the top. If you could post up a pic of the mount as well that would be great!

Thanks
Chris
 
You don't seem to be getting much help so I just went and measured my 3 bulls I have a 325" Rosie that measures approx 46" wide 44" from wall to nose tip and 62" high, I have a 345" rocky that measures about 46" wide 43" from wall to nose and about 65" brisket to top of antlers and I have a 400" rocky that measures about 48" wide 44" wall to nose and about 68" brisket to antler tops. Depends on how good your elk is, measure his width, if he's less than your prescibed 41" then tell your taxidermist to shorten up the form abit so he only protrudes 41" and he should fit. Even my monster is still several inches short of 6' brisket to tops.
Hope this helps, not good at posting pics sorry, I may try it again yet this eve.
