I was at Wildlife Revolutions yesterday, taking an elderly friend to drop off some things he wanted to get mounted. While there, I got my first chance to see my Lord Derby Eland mount which they recently finished. I’m very pleased with how it came out and I’ll be picking it up next week once I borrow a big enough trailer to bring it home; it’s as big as an Alaskan Moose.


Once I get it home I’m going to be taking down several animals that are featured on the largest wall in my game room, then putting my LDE in the center of the wall and re-arranging the others around it.

Nice trophy. Congratulations.
 
Great mount, it will feature very well in your game room
 
Stud! And find one before hanging that brute on the wall!

The entire wall is sheathed in 3/4” plywood and the studs are 2x6’s. He’ll be hung with a Lag Bolt screwed into the wall, so I should be good to go. All my heavy mounts are hung on lag bolts, not nails.
 
Eland hunting is one of the best IMO. That is an incredibly beautiful animal/mount. Congrats!

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?
