NEW ZEALAND: Crate Unpacking Day New Zealand Hunt Trophies With New Zealand Safaris

Cody,

I don't think the freight was much different than from Africa at all
 
Great going Reedy! Definitely post a pic of the stag when he makes it to the wall, he deserves a better showing for sure.

Finally got some help to get the big boy on the wall, here are a few pics

Holy hell man. That's a freak. Nice trophy
 
@reedy0312 well worth the wait, outstanding trophy. Thanks for posting the update.
 
Great collection of trophies!!! That's an awesome red stag! It's cool seeing him next to those elk- you get a good size comparison.
 
Thanks @rinehart0050 ! Yeah it ended up looking not bad next to the elk, and it does show the mass of the stag
 
Wow, impressive Stag, and those elk and lion look great also. Congrats, and thanks for sharing!
 
Wonderful mounts and that stag is a stunner!!
 
The next NZ trophy idea (these are not mine, just looking at some pics on AH and the internet in general). May have to get a chamois to do a double mount!

Well,

After some time putting off the taxidermy (because I have so much in line with my guy :ROFLMAO:) I finally went ahead and got the tahr mounted. Running out of space quickly in my home I decided to do a floor mount and squeeze him into my office. Now I can look at him everyday and remember how grand and majestic the mountains of NZ are and what a hunt it was for this guy!

WOW!!! and EMPRESSIVE are words that come to mind. Are you trying to get all of your hunting done prior to giving up your bachelor status? I'm insanely jealous.

Well not all of it but maybe some of the "bigger stuff/trips" now that you mention it
 
Great looking mount! Looks like quite the collection you have there in your office!
 
Nice trophies!
Never hunted Kiwi country, but visited it, bicycled all the South Island, jet boated, helicoptered landed and hiked around the Philip Joseph glacier, etc. Magnificently beautiful country!
You are a lucky guy to have such a great hunt there! I'm very jealous!
