I finally got around to working on some of my own animals. This stallion was hunted on my trip to Namibia in 2011. I hunted with Etosha Heights Game Safaris. It was a remarkable spot and stalk hunt traversing dry creek beds and dodging painfully loud crunchy leaves to send the .375 bullet to him. He dropped in his tracks. I was quite disappointed when the salted hide arrived to me a year and a half later as the front of the eyes had been cut away and it had a lot of skinning cuts. However, with some creative epoxy work I repaired the missing areas and he’s now proudly displayed in my living room.

Looks good to me congrats.
 
Nice work and lasting remembrance of good hunt
 
Beautiful
 
Looks like a really good repair! I would have never seen it. So you’re a taxidermist as well as huntress. It will be nice to hear from your perspective on AH.
I am slowly bringing my middle school granddaughter into my hunting world. It has been great fun for this old man! I’m excited to take her to Africa with me in 2020 for her 14th birthday gift!
 
Nice save.

Thank you! I specialize in African game and you see them hacked up all the time. I started just skinning them myself when we got to the skinning shed. And what an amazing gift to your granddaughter!! You are raising her right!!
 
Hey, just realized you are Canadian. Do you run a general taxidermy shop in Alberta?
I only do African game. I will do some NA species, but I’m not passionate about them as I am African animals.
