I'm still waiting on export permits from Gauteng SA. The pictures I receive from Savuti Taxidermy showed some definitely black horns. I, too, had discussed with Cliff about wanting the natural color. I really liked the color on the animals when they were on the ground. When questioning why they were black, I was told it was only from the mineral oil rubbed on to help preservation. We'll see whenever they get home. What is your cleaning process?
I'm not going to have much of "a wall" because I've only got 3 heads and 3 back skins coming, but mostly because I'm putting the red hartebeest upstairs and the blue and black gnus down in the man cave.
I also have a plan to get a bear rug and skull, but not until next year. That first hunting trip most certainly was a gateway drug. I'm not afraid to admit I'm and addict! After the black bear I'm saving to get a red stag from New Zealand. I'll just have to buy a different house with ceilings tall enough for the monster stag I'm dreaming of!
