Although the above photographs are not very appealing, the project was documented and photographed from the very beginning. The above two pictures show exactly how the moose were found after the battle in which their antlers became locked and ultimately took their lives. The moose were found in Springfield, NH by Ray Deragon of New London, NH in October of 2003.
Positioning of the antlers during the form modification and development was a crucial step in the process. Adjusting the mounts to ensure they are accurately depicting natural positioning of fighting moose is a focus of Mark's work. He has researched dozens of references. He has reviewed many videos of fighting bulls to enhance his ability to exact every detail. This display does not simply depict sparring bulls. It is our intent to capture a dramatic moment during a full scale battle that ultimately lead to the death of both moose once they became hopelessly locked.
