    Well, not only did I have another awesome hunt with Louis van Bergen at Spiral Horn Safaris, I have these mounts waiting for me over in San Francisco.

    I hope these are from the first safari.
    I they are from the second....? Whoa.

    If he starts putting them out on the concession pre-mounted like that it might reduce the fun of the hunt.

    Congrats on your mounts.

    That is a good turn around time.
    I hope your trophies show up safe and sound and you get to enjoy them for a long time.

    Hi Hagar

    The Taxidermy was done by Pieter van Bergen (my brother) owner of African Memories Taxidermy.

    He works closely with myself and a few other outfitters to provide good quality work and a fast turn around time.

    You can contact him at:africanmemoriestaxidermy@gmail.com

    Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns?

    Best Regards
    Louis van Bergen
