2022 Safari taxidermy is getting done

Looking at your hartebeest makes me think I want to wack me one next year!
They look great!

I hear ya. I’m glad I decided to take the back too.
 
Well, the moment I've been waiting for has finally arrived. @gizmo (Top of Texas Taxidermy) texted me yesterday to inform me that he was already working on my mounts. So I asked him for pictures (or it did not happened :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:) to start a new taxidermy thread. Here are some of the pictures I received.

The buffalo ft will be cigar ashtrays.

I'm super excited to see them finally getting done. More to come.
He does such awesome work and a great reputation for detail!!!
 
Some fine trophies there. Looking forward to seeing them on your wall.
 
Very nice Oscar
 
Thank you gents, I can't wait to get my hands on them and figure out where to put them. I had seen @gizmo work on this forum which was one of the reasons I chose him. Plus, he is here in the US. (y)
 
All are coming nicely Oscar :D Cheers:

I made lamps with my buff forelegs.

Nice, do you mind sharing a picture of your lamps? A taxidermist friend in South Dakota made lamps out of white tail deer feet, and they were such a success she now makes them on a regular basis.
 
May I be so bold to say that the warthog must be the best warthog taxidermy I have ever seen.
That Red Hartebeest comes close second.

What tails did he use? The black wildebeest and the nyala or hartebeest or kudu?
 
If I remember correctly, i think rhe BW, Nyala and Kudu. I need to ask @gizmo.

Hi Jon,
I saw your post for the .500 NE cases. Are these all brass or are they nickel plated? Hard for me to tell... sorry.
Thanks,
