I've often thought one of the things that catches my eye on a nyala is it's light forelegs. So I thought that if I ever hunted one I'd try and show it off. Then A few years ago I happened across a used book called 'A Breath from the Veldt' by John Guille Milais. Interesting story and history, and amazing artwork. One picture of a kudu bull caught my attention with it's foreleg up near the body. Perfect for a mount to both show it off and keep it out of the way on the wall and in shipping.

Well here's the drawing, and a pic of my nyala from my avatar mounted by Relive Taxidermy out of Port Elizabeth. Soon to be packed and head to Alaska.

Very creative way to get those yellow legs in view.
Congrats on a nice mount

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
Ross
