Love Moose Skull

This cow moose was hunted close to Steamboat Springs, Colorado.  Based on her good health and fitness at the time she was taken for meat, she had a good life and passed with a single shot.  The moose head mounts that get notoriety are typically the bulls on account of their impressive racks.  However, the future of the population relies also on the females who grow and nurture the next generation. 

One of the few ungulates to often carry twins, this cow moose may have contributed several individuals to the population in that area.  While she lacks a rack, she is just as worthy of being celebrated and remembered.  Her skull is now bedazzled in a way to reflect the love she gave and deserves.  This is the first skull that also came with a lower jaw, which can be used as a natural stand, or the skull can be hung on the wall in the traditional manner.
