Hippo Mount

RootballExpress · Mar 19, 2024

Hello everyone,

I seen a hippo mount that made me smile a while back on here and had to screenshot it. Has anyone seen one like this in person or had one done?

I am having my hippo done this was and it is at the taxidermist now. I really like the end table mounts they make.

That is awesome! I’d like to have this done when I take mine. LOVE the idea

I was able to kill a nice hippo bull last year. I almost went with the glass table top idea that is seen here. In the end I decided that I am going to build a nice wooden table and have the hippo skull resting on top of the table so people can come up and get a good look at the tusks and skull. I think it will be more viewer friendly with this approach. I can always go back and do the glass too later if I decide I want to go that direction.

@Uintaelkhunter, would love to see how yours turns out when you get it back. Bet it will be awesome.

I just need to add the glass top waiting for it to haev a final resting place for it.

Did you do a hunt report on these? That would be an awesome combo hunt if done at the same time! These look great.

No I did not. But they were both hunted on the same hunt in Zambia with Strangles Middleton safaris. It was a great hunt.
