OUTSTANDING TROPHY! Congrats to the huntress.
Do not see many in trophy rooms. Their hide is very thick, costly to shoot, ship, tan and mount.
I have one to do for a client.
One is on my list when I return to Namibia in 2016.

Thanks y'all. If shoot have tanned over there it will save Cape from slippage. Make sure if you do shoot and want to use that form it is a BIG bull and they save plenty of cape. Riser did a nice job as far as tanning and did great with the balls on top of horns. Thanks he is approximately 11ft tall. They are expensive to mount compare to other plains game. The tanning over there was $950 us, the form with shipping was $1500, eyes $50, plus Taxidermist fees. I am friends with mine so I paid material to save him out of pocket. Plus what ever extra shipping the added weight was and I kept the skull as well. Definitely worth it, it is an eye catcher for sure. Again thanks for all the kind words. She got roughed up a bit on the internet when she posted pics, but she used it as chance to educate the tree huggers. Strong young lady that loves to hunt and believes on conservation for the future.

Great mount. Do you know what brand form was used? My wife plans to hunt giraffe this summer in Zim. Hope she is as fortunate as your daughter. What caliber did she use?

Pretty cool for the young lady! Congrats!
Kinda makes all your other ones seem puny!
I've got one too but mine was given to the local village for food for a month.

Beautiful mount, you lucky dog. My wife is absolutely against me shooting one. I imagine I'll never get to bring one home to the collection
. I even tried to tell her I found the PERFECT place for it over the basement stairs, but was shot down just the same.

Would anyone out there know roughly how much it would cost to have a giraffe hide tanned and shipped to U.S. from Namibia?
