great story- those initial hunts are so important . A shot like that is something he will be telling his grandkids! congrats to you for showing him the ropes and putting in the prep time together . Congrats to your sone for such a sweets shot!

I imagine that the gembok euro mount would make a strong visual statement. The long tapering horns must look great when hung on a lighter colored wall. Do you have your trophies all in a single area (trophy room) or mixed into multiple rooms. I will be converting/renovating a barn and plan for...

Greetings- i have been thinking about spotted hyena and saw your response . Can you contact me to discuss options? Thank you

hopefully in close proximity to the humidor.(y)

congrats on taking him down on the run-not easy. That is a tough old battler and sure it will make a memorable . Those weathered, broken tusks confirms his status as a fighter . For warthog, battle scars and large, asymmetrical or broken tusks (like yours!) are more impactful and will enhance...

those are real beauties . Using the buff as the centerpiece will be a "showstopper" . Do you have another pic of the kudu in position on transom? I am in the early stages of planning a trophy room and do like your approach. Also what is your opinion on european style skull mounts ? For big buff...

Hans- greetings and thank you for all the information. I have looked at a number of options but was not happy with most of the choices. I am probably going to wait on the lion hunt. If the US import regulations do not relax I will revisit this at the end of the year and look at something for...

thanks for the reply-you make some good points and I appreciate you weighing in on this. To be honest until this weekend I had only considered a lion hunt as a general idea and had not looked into the details. It has been something I wanted to do but did not really know much about the various...

Hans- I appreciate you quick answer. The hunt you describe would be very interesting but not ready to go with the the replica option yes. I am holding out hope for some change or relaxation in import regulations but maybe that is not practical. Just for a very rough and non-binding estimate what...

Greetings all- this is my first post so apologize if Im messing up on protocols. I have been thinking about a lion hunt for years but have been discouraged by what looks like an impossible task of getting the trophy shipped back to the US. I have done a little bit of plains game hunting but can...
