Good luck with that bear. Going to try the same on the Kamchatka in the spring.

And that is exactly what they should be for. I have never told a child not to touch. Yes, it gets whatever is on their grubby little hands on my mounts. But if a child want to touch an animal, handle a skull, or poke an eye, as long as it is not mine, I am cool with it. How else do we get kids interested. I take that back. My 25 year old nephew still reminds me about the time when he was 6 or 7 that he pulled the tongue out of my bear skin rug. I did loose both barrels on him. Sorry BrianBears from my spring 2016 British Columbia hunt. They have been home for quite a while but don't remember if I shared here. They have been petted a few times by visiting kids

Thanks Brother I'll do my best... I can guarantee I will not be doing it wearing a loin cloth though so you slay a great old Dagga Boy with that double! We all want pictures of you in your wig and Tim in the loin cloth... But perhaps you can savor the "Snappy" pictures privately

Robert with Wild Images In Motion did a fantastic job. He planned the whole layout and placement. He also helped out hanging and placing some of the mounts I had done in South Africa by Relive. Robert did the base for the buffalo's.

Thanks! They are better than the pictures show. Detail is outstanding. Really happy to have gotten such a great Leopard out of Mozambique and in such great condition. Simon's crew did a great job on that skin. The whiskers are even perfect
Did you notice the duiker? Robert went all out on the authenticity of that

Good luck on your grizzly hunt, shot mine up in the Brooks range. The big bear hunts are IMO unbeatable in North America.

Thanks everyone for the compliments and well wishes. I'm sitting in my hotel in Anchorage doing some last minute business waiting until it's time for my flight into bush
The whole city is inundated with smoke from the fires. Apparently it has been real dry. Flew in through a smoke cloud so thick we couldn't see the wing tips.
Weather looks great right now in my hunting area. Going in very optimistic

Some more professional pictures. Robert actually set up in one of my machine sheds to have space and dark
He went through some phenomenal work to get proper photos and of course on the mounts and trees.
He wants to do more of this high end stuff that will allow him to use his artistic abilities.

@Robert Utne with Wild Images in Motion got some special critters done. Took these with Bossie @Limpopo Big Game Safaris in March of 2019.
