Sensible solution for Elk in 8' ceilings?
I have three larger bulls, two euro'ed and one mounted, that I would like to tastefully put in a room with 8' ceilings. Does anyone have any good ideas?

ceiling solutions
You could possibly look into making one of your ceilings vaulted, not that big of deal to do if your handy.
Could possibly mount it over the stairs? Or move to a house with a better layout.

There have been some nice pedestal mounts posted.
This was my favorite.

My euro.
Main beams are 53" for reference.
Over the stairs is a great idea, just didnt pass the wife test for me.

I have this one going down the stairs. Don't know if it would accommodate Amy larger of a bull tho. I have know idea where the full mount is going to go when sugar creek calls. I did get it with a hard turn and head tipped back bugling, so I hope it works in 8' ceilings.

The mounted bull is above the stairs and works well there and here are the other two in my work room. I would like to move them all to the main room in the basement without taking up too much space. It just might not be possible.

If it wasnt already mounted you could have gone this route.

To Pseelk,
Nice mount. Confirm that is an 8ft ceiling. If it is an 8ft ceiling, how far from the floor is the brisket of the mount?
Thanks
