There`s no wall space left in my home so rather then leave my elk mount in the garage I figured that the aoudad mount was high enough on the wall that my elk would fit under it.... Does this look OK or is it too crowded???

Looks like you've reached a point to make a drastic decision; give up hunting or buy a new house. Anyway, it looks great to me, show the rest of the room.

LOOKS OK, NICE AOUDAD AND BUSHBUCK TOO. I HAVE A SHOULDER MOUNT ELK IN MY OFFICE WITH 8 FOOT CEILINGS, THE BOTTOM OF THE ELK IS DARN NEAR ON THE FLOOR. WHEN I WAS HAVING A LOT OF TAXIDERMY DONE THE TAXIDERMIST CURED ME OF "GUNITIS" BUT WHEN I MOSTLY CUT OFF THE TAXIDERMIST I HAD A RELAPSE OF "GUNITIS". I AM PRETTY MUCH OUT OF WALL SPACE BUT STILL HAVE ROOM FOR MORE HANDGUNS.
"ADAPT OR DIE". I USE ALL CAPS, NOT BECAUSE I AM YELLING, BUT BECAUSE IT IS AN OLD HABIT FROM MY ARMY DAYS, PLUS IT IS EASIER TO TYPE AND READ.

I'd probably raise the Aoudad a few inches. Sounds like you and Rey and I have similar problems. I pretty much became a meat hunter a few years ago because of it.

Looks fine, and nice mounts.
I had my Kudu and my Gemsbok set up for pedestal mounts. I only have room in my basement to have 16" tall pedestals. This puts the kudu horns just in the rafters.

Nice trophies, James. That elk looks a lot better there than in a garage.
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.
