This past Saturday was like Christmas all over again. The taxidermist, Jim August in Portland OR, delivered my animals from my safari with Kido Safaris. The hunt was fantastic and took place last year from Feb 27 to March 6, so I'm happy to have the mounts back already and very happy with how they turned out.

Great pictures, nice to see before and after shots and superb mounts too.
The giraffe is particularly impressive and presented very well.
 
That giraffe is awesome. There all awesome but the giraffe is spectacular.
 
Who did the taxidermy?
 
I have never heard of them but the did an excellent job. Congrats
 
Congratulations on a fine trip sir!
I love that Giraffe on the pedestal. How heavy is that base in order to balance the mount, or is it mounted to the floor?

Take Care,

There is a large bag of sand in the base as a counter weight, but once I've decided that I'm not going to try any different spot, I think it would be good to anchor the back side of the base to the floor, the mount is front heavy. The mounts have only been up one day, but the giraffe does seem to get the most "wow" or "whoa" factor from people.
 
Love them before and after pitures, H4S.
They have came out trumps, your taxidermist does a great job
Thanks for showing us all

So true!!!

I'm torn between wanting to get my stuff back now and being happy for every extra day the bill is delayed!!!
 
Good for you . Beautiful trophies and mounts. Forrest

I've always suppressed that cost!!!! I can afford the safari. It is the taxidermy that gets me!!! :A Banana Sad:
