My wife suprised me with my mount when I got home from work Friday night. Pictures don't do this justice. Hangs a little lower on the wall than I thought, but I guess thats a nice problem to have.

That is a great bull. I enjoyed the story you wrote about it earlier. I would have enjoyed being there even as a packer.

The taxidermist told me it was the only one that would fit other than the 90 degree one which I'm not a fan of. I was reluctant at first but it turned out great. Its called the semi sneak.
