For your consideration is a North American Caribou Trophy Shoulder Mount. Posed in an upright position looking straight towards the viewer. A professionally tanned hide of beautiful cream and light brown coat of hair and a massive set of antlers. Often called reindeer, caribou and reindeer are related and from the same deer species, the family Cervidae. They can look similar, but have distinct differences. All reindeer are in Asia and Europe while Caribou are in North America, and while Caribou antlers are tall and curved, with a more sprawling or random pattern, reindeer antlers are sharp and pointy with a straighter or more uniform appearance. This impressive Caribou shoulder mount has large palmated tops from the main beams and a right-side shovel, also called "brow palm". The expression is wonderful, the glass eyes are clear and the antlers are impressive. The dewlap is soft and thick. The fur is in good condition with some natural color variations but no flaws found. Overall, this caribou shoulder mount is in very nice condition, no marring noted. The mount measures 41" deep (from wall to farthest extruding antler) and 48 1/2" in height (from bottom of chest to highest point of antlers). The left main beam measures 43 1/8" and the right main beam measures 48 3/4". The Boone and Crockett Score shows a gross score of 262 6/8 and a total score of 247. Overall, the mount shows good condition with no obvious signs of damage. Both antlers can be detached easily.*
