I FINALLY got around to completing my animals from my 2021 hunt with Dalton and York in the OMAY. The smaller buffalo is a euro-type skull, and the baboon, well that one isn't finished. I did intentionally drag my feet getting the buffalo done as I wasn't exactly sure where it was going to go in the trophy room. Actually had a friend stop by my house and suggested if I moved around a few things, this space would open up.

Thread 'ZIMBABWE: Dalton & York Safaris - No Bull, Double Bull'

I had just joked with Zvito, the lead tracker, that I’d make him famous if he fell in the river, as I videoed him carefully stepping across the hurriedly constructed rock step bridge. Shortly thereafter, I am pulling myself out of the water, up the bank with afore mentioned video camera soaking wet in my pocket. :(

Alas, I should start at the beginning of the story perhaps. Shortly after wrapping up my fourth South African safari in 2018, I had decided it was finally time. Time to get wild- go big, a real adventure and move on to hunting dangerous game. During my four previous safaris I...

You got me confused here: the smaller buffalo, euro-type, but the picture is of what to me looks like a regular shoulder mount. Is that because you had two buffaloes and only picture the non-euro mount, or am I missing something?

And how does a euro-type skull differ from a euro-mount?

Asking because I need to figure out what to with mine (dont really have space for a shoulder).

Correct, I killed 2 buff, the biggest one mounted and the smaller was a “euro” but I burned it for an antique look instead of traditional white.

The slight open mouth showing bottom teeth is outstanding on the buffalo.
Might you have different camera angles for the Hyena?

What area do you want too see better? He’s flat against wall as mounted but I can move him around rather easily
 
I’ve gotten into this little quirky thing to add the animal tracks to any bases I do,
Hyena , buff and bushbuck.

@buck wild
Easy solution my friend.
Instead of moving things around to make them fit build a BIGGER ROOM.
Solves the problem and if'n y'all build it big enough you have to go on more hunts to fill it.
Win win.

Building bigger at current location is a no go. I’d have to build new, which might have to happen but I’m reaching my saturation point. Really going to scale back on mounting new stuff.

@buck wild
Instead of mounting them just try holding hands with them, may be more socially acceptable.
People tend to frown when you mount animals.
Ha Ha ha Ha ha ha
Sorry mate just couldn't resist

Good morning from Montana.

I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.

Best,

Kelly Palmer

Good Evening. I am very interested in you hunt for the spiral slam. March in 2028 would be fine for me

Couple of quick questions:

1) Can we add some additional species on
2) what do you want for a deposit?
3) how do you want me to sign up

I'm on whats app or email

Kurt [redacted]

have a great evening
