Looking good but man word of advice, you better get a handle on any natural sunlight directly coming in as it will fade those mounts FAST !
 
Beautiful! You are going to need a bigger house :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
 
Just my opinion. Buff is way too low to be appreciated
 
What’s the story of the bow and arrows in the picture of the buffalo?
Before I was able to make the trip myself my father-in-law who has traveled extensively would send back old bow and arrow collections from different countries that he visited in Africa...made them into shadow boxes....

My taxidermist was unable to finish the base on that yet it'll be standing a little higher when it's finished that base is temporarily

On my first safari in Mozambique my PH asked me if I wanted to take home a couple of spears that we liberated from a group of poachers. I said no even though I wanted them desperately. I just didn’t know the legalities of bringing that sort of thing into the US. He said just cut them to fit into my rifle case. I still wish I would have tried but still don’t know if it’s legal. That’s a big regret in my African hunting career.
 
Wow! Great mounts!

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
