For those who were asking awhile back, here are pics of a couple of mounts from last years safari.

Christines Whitetail. Obviously not from last years safari but she wanted this unique agressive displaying mount and I like it enough that I just had to show it. It is a nice option especially when you already have several conventional mounts on the wall.

Lovely bushbuck! I always look at the ears, since many tax. seems to have trouble getting them right. Yours seems perfect.
Can i ask what taxidermist you used?

Thanks, I used me. LOL

Ear color is definitely one thing I have noticed off on alot of African mounts. This guy is far from perfect but I do like how he turned out, as always after scrutinizing live reference against my mount I noticed a few small things that will make the next one even better.
 
Does anyone have any experience with metallic mounts? Copper, bronze, nickel?

I am looking for something different for skull mounts.

Thanks!
 
Nice job. I bet he lets you do the repeat work too.

There was a thread on here a little bit ago about different colored skull mounts someone was doing and they were getting opinions. I can't seem to find it. Maybe someone else can post the link.

Until this guy posts something on pay it forward free I would avoid him at all costs.

If it hasn't sold by next week I might be interested. Stock would have to be changed along with some other items. I'm already having a 416 Rigby built so money is a tad bit tight.

Hey pal! I'll take all the .375 bullets if they're available.
Thanks!
