First let me say that I would not consider myself a good judge of taxidermy quality. That said, as a customer I am pleased overall with the quality of the work. Now I just need to add on to the house so I can display all of these more properly.

Take a look and let me know what you think.

Here is a link to the post about the hunt.

looking good.
 
Very nice work.
If you are happy with them that is what counts.

I would like to know how you managed to get your Gemsbok mount with horns included. I still have an invisible Gemsbok to hold my horns up. :)

Yo urea doing well to have them on the wall and being happy with the result.

That Eland must take up half the room. I have my cape and have not taken it to get mounted yet fearing I will have to move out of a room or build a new room just for it.
 
Your mounts look very good. You should be proud of them. :)

I really like your eland mount the best!
 
Gets me all excited...with any luck I will have mine by June. Glad you are happy with them! Might I ask who did the work? Was it here in the states or in Africa?
 
looks good, I am waiting to recieve my trophies from namibia this month, and then they are off to the taxidermist, I canï½´t wait to get them home.

cheers

Thanks for all the responses guys.

BRICKBURN, sorry to hear about your gemsbok. That eland does take up quite a bit. It sticks out from the wall about 54 inches. My wife has been very accepting of me taking up the entire basement with my taxidermy.

enysse, I really like the eland too, after seeing them all he is also my favorite. I originally planned to get just a euro mount of him, but my PH insisted that he was such a great trophy that I do a shoulder mount. I am glad I listened.

RickB, I had the work done by a taxidermist in Fargo, ND (about 80 miles from where I live). Taxidermy is not his primary income and he only does a limited amount of work but he does a fine job in my opinion. I had a chance to look at his own African mounts before he did mine and that convinced me that he would do a good job. The mounts for the skulls were made by my father-in-law as well.

Thanks again guys.

It will work out in the end. One way or the other.
With a measurement like that I am glad I stalled that mount. I am sneaking the smaller trophies in first..... :)
 
They look really nice, Congrats.
 
Congrats on the trophies, they look great. Mine ship Jan 16th, very excited.
 
Your trophies look great I know what you mean adding on to your house I turned a 835sf room over my garage in to my trophy room.
 
Looks great nd, thanks for sharing!
