I was working in the burbs last summer and saw one coming, and had my camera in hand, so I took a photo. Can't believe some company stole my handle!

Problem
Here's a good view of the problem. The taxidermist mounted this on a regular form, instead of an antler clearance form.
I don't know what to do. It is screwed up. The rack should be tilted back at about 30 degrees, rather than parallel to the muzzle. When it is displayed next to my other two elk, this one will look very funny.

Main Beams 52 6/8 & 50 0/8
Inside spread 42 5/8
Brow tines avg. 14 4/8
Swords 15 6/8 & 17 1/8
Was looking at this guy tryng to maneuver in home unsuccessfully, then noticed my coming moose rack is 8" wider that this!
Neither can get past my living room. Good thing I'm already divorced.
When I was at taxidermist he showed me a 425 bull. But then rolls his eyes and mentions it was farm raised in Illinois, then shipped up to a fenced hunting ranch in Saskatchewan to be "hunted".
