I got an elk of a lifetime. I was like, there's no there's no way I can't get this mounted. So I was thinking this might be like a year Maybe a year and a half. Maybe even like two years to do this thing And I might even be in a different house at that time. We not not only do we have Short ceilings we have eight foot ceilings, but I have pretty much filled it to the brim with with mounts There's really there's just there's just no more room and with today's interest rates I don't think we're gonna be moving for many years So one day we'll have that house where there'll be maybe a place to put an elk or some Large American game up on the wall, but right now we just don't so I have a Gynormous elk that is going to be delivered here in the next hour or so OSG has never seen one of these things up close. I just have nowhere to put it So we got to figure out where we're gonna put this thing. Let's do a quick check and check So I did a little bit of experiment earlier Taking one of the smaller birds that are about eight or nine weeks old now And just putting them in here with the adult birds And that did not go over too well Little penny rooster buddy. He does this weird sideways like dance walk thing When uh when he gets around some other chickens sometimes and he started he started doing it It's like he's getting pretty defensive Oh, well, are you getting defensive on me bud? Are you getting defensive on me? Look at that. He's starting to get a little aggressive If he does this like sideways thing, he kind of eyes you up sideways and then he'll It'll just kind of peck you so He started doing that when I put the little chicks in here. Are you thinking this camera is a little chick? Is that what you're doing? Look at that I've I've never seen him get like this aggressive. I guess it's because I put these chicks in here Today and just got him in a mood Welcome to our house of chaos House of chaos. We're in the look at this place Sometimes followed with injuries Standing standing almost You did a backflip Amy Good job high five You're back flippin on everything now and we got Little pooter here. He's walking. He's pushing. He's pushing around everything. You just he just wants to hold your hand and walk I'm gonna say he's two weeks off from complete walk mode You know kids are getting physical around here getting crazy. I feel like I'm getting beat up on daily so, um, I came up here to kind of for me that uh There's a large American game animal That's going to be showing up here today. It's not a full body mount that goodness, but it's shoulder mount and uh You have you ever seen an elk live like up close? I have you have where is that when we went to the grand canyon they were just walking around Let's see how much I've seen them time check. There should be one here in about 10 minutes that is uh It's it's a trophy class Bull elk very large. Where are we putting this? I don't I don't know. He's probably gonna take up yet another parking spot in the garage. I don't know so I know. Yeah, we're gonna have to just keep your car out forever. Yeah, it's never coming back in. No, I would never I've never put the elk in the garage because it would it would fall apart So our house is kind of interesting that it's uh, it's like an old Lake home type type deal It's kind of an odd construction So there there's like one spot where there could possibly be a mount that I thought about but but no There's baskets there right now, and I still don't think it would be big enough actually So then if we shift over here If you look up here, this is kind of like the whitetail establishment There's most of my Good whitetail deer that I've got. There's my first uh low fence 140 deer, um, there's uncle Herschel You know big old mature crazy eight point Um, and then we've got you know a taste of Africa out there You know at first I was thinking well Maybe there's a chance that we've when we first we've been here that If I ever get an elk, maybe it could go right here, but We have filled that we have filled it up And also the outstretched arm to hang that thing Uh, dad would be going down dad would be going down the stairs. So I love I love my little whitetail wall here um Little my little room and the loft This is about max animal size right here the niola, you know the lesh way You know it looks looks like there's enough space and then you put something up there You realize no there's no way so this is the only spot and we've got uncle Herschel there and quite honestly I just wouldn't trust my outstretched arm or the stud configuration to even hold that bad boy. So there's there's really Unless it could go in the bedroom. It's not going in the bedroom. I don't want to look at it when I'm sleeping Would it fit right here? If we took that I don't see here's the prop. Here's the problem But I think I think we have what's called a sneak position Or that's kind of like it's kind of like Looking out And I did that because the antlers are going to be really tall It's also just kind of a cool position But I I honestly think like the seeding fan might get in the way there So we'd love to put it up here. It's the room of collections and uh adventures and things like that, but yeah, yeah No such room Plus I would hate for old unibrow You know uncle Herschel to like have to look at that elk every day can be like jealous, you know what I mean? Like man What a stud The antlers are coming The antlers are coming Sorry, we got little kiddos running around so you set it right in the litter here and it's fine Can you ship it fine? Yeah, want to park it? Okay They're heavy I mean it might as well be a piece of furniture I think that's bigger than a piece of furniture that I brought into the house It's so big I think the most impressive thing are these antlers Yeah, the antlers are crazy I just want the antlers Yeah, Amy already tried to pick up an antler and the antler bitter. Oh now I heard you crying I first looked at a baby bin and I was like, no, I had him. I was confused He gets you Wow Okay, well now we need to think of a name Uh Antlerly Antlerly Yeah, that'd be a good name So, you know, some people get like a floor pedestal mount where the chest is like on the ground But um No, you just leave it there You just want to leave it there just looking straight up Yeah, that's a play put You see what I'm talking about how far extends out from the wall Yeah Like it's it's not like a deer where it's only like a couple feet Well, let's not put your feet on it, Amy girl What? Bin's trying to climb in here Bin's just crawling on the antler and they'll be careful a little bud, okay? Some of these are kind of sharp Hey, it would be really cool if we had a house with a chimney or a fireplace Uh, you know, one day One day We have no we have no fireplace But uh, I think, I think, oh boy, here is definitely It's going to be at my house Where do you think I should put it? Well, where you shoot your little piggy Shoot the little piggy? Mm-hmm Or where the other little deer is? Yeah So you think this would be an archery target? It's not crazy like I think, you know, it'd be fine on a stud, but You'd have to really really secure it Like Oh, what if you just hang it there? Just right when you come in the house That's right when you walk in Try to try to grab one of the antlers and put it on here Like see what it would even do Yeah, it's going to hit the ceiling From here and this is like love You know what I mean? Yeah, that's not happening There's no way There's no way You know, you got to love a misplaced, uh, mount Randomly misplaced Just to try to give you the scope of how big this is compared to a whitetail Let me just grab one of these guys This is, I think, Stephanie's Yeah, this is Stephanie's eight-point that she shot this past season Don't worry about it Three and a half four-year-old, uh, whitetail from Texas right here You know, antler size, I mean, what in the world? Look how silly this would look Just the antlers, honestly Is that not nuts? Obviously I can keep it here But it would just be on the floor Getting in the way Our house is just way too small You know, it needs to be done justice by hanging on a wall somewhere where, you know, I can look at it every once in a while People can appreciate it It's such a cool animal But I at least want to put the antlers on right here and just try to try to get a scope of it Like it really does look like a jumbo jump for the kids Baby inside of a 350 inch bull elk If a bull elk actually got angry with you and wanted to toss you around it'd be pretty dangerous All right big boy, we're gonna find a home for you Okay, everybody welcome to the official offices Uh here and we are sitting here In front of Matt's office Right here. I have a lag bolt They're metal studs, so we might have to Metal studs Okay, all right. Well, Grant's here. He's an expert at this stuff. So, um, if it falls, you know Okay, a little bit of math here a little bit engineering It's going up boys That thing is massive It's the size of math until your doorway Welcome to your new home Welcome to do me What's up? All right, so there's something new in the office Okay, I wanted to see oh boy. I think I know what this is. If you know what it is We talked about this right from vichigan. Where you going? Where's where's it at? Well, we gotta push Oh my god Wait see just see it How did you not see that going to the office? I don't know. I guess I was focused on getting to my office You get to talk to them every day Feel the power of the bull It fits the office. It's bull power Marnish you got Fresh rosemary from your backyard garden. Yeah, my rosemary is uh It's dying in this, Texas. See what I'm glad you put it to good use Oh, I need to try some elk Are you gonna try some? What do you think about elk versus whitetail? What do I think about it? Oh 1000% You're all about the elk. Yeah It's all the ground elk. It crumbles so nicely. Wait, you just want to get in there. You want to put your face in there? Oh, yeah, that's my that's my little line Frey to eat the meat of the forest Because I have beer and a steak knife let go I like the the extra little crust on the end Oh Shoot fire. Oh my goodness that is delicious Y'all, I wish elk were as plentiful as whitetail Can we bring back those days when they just We're in the pastures in the fields and the plains Come on Bureau of wildlife and management wildlife whatever Let's make that happen So I am about to chow down on some delicious elk steaks And what else you got here? Bacon wrapped asparagus and little potatoes with some macaroni and cheese my goodness Thank you guys for tuning in to another Vlog I think from now on this year, honey. I mean I If I it's gonna have to be a megalodon Whitetail for me to do any sort of shoulder mount everything from here on out Um, I'm basically just gonna do a European mount or Not even maybe I mean I'm kind of taking a different approach this year You know going more of the national approach. I'm gonna keep more more of my highs I'm gonna keep my tendons and all that stuff you guys have been seeing me Uh getting into the bow making process. It's all it's all a part of it So a little bit different approach this year, but we still have um a little bit of elk left and uh We got some whitetail left here from last season, but it's about time to start all over again Thank you guys for tuning in. Thank you for doctor's watch for sponsoring today's video and god bless you godspeed We'll see you on the next one
