I have a very narrow entry door at my studio, its an extra passage door I have it small for that very reason...if I can pass a mount thru it, the mount should go through most doorways in homes. This door is only 32" opening. I can pass most elk and even 70" moose thru it. I of course have two sets of double doors for the big stuff, but my point is, that big stuff CAN get thru those openings if you do it right. Try standing the elk up nose up, and wrap one antler, then the mount, then the other antler thru. It works, unless theres a second door immediately following, or obstructions on both walls following that door. Try that before paying a taxidermist to relax the hide around one antler burr, cutting the antler off, pinning and restoring. Like I said, almost all of those huge elk will still go thru...
