Hippo mount

[Hallgeir Gravråk]

I have a question for you guys:
I have a plan for hunting hippo in June this year, When I shoot this hippo (I`m pretty sure that I shoot it)
What option do I have for the trophy?

I Know that shouldermount is an Option, but I have a narrow space, and the Hippo are big.
What other option do I have?

I saw an interesting skull mount on the internet. They had it on the floor with a clear glass table top on it to make it into a coffee table. It looked nice IMO. I’ll try to find the picture again.

This one is pretty cool.

I just have my skull on the floor. It doesn't take up a ton of space.

There’s a table in this thread. Not the one I remember. I think it was rectangular glass.

The shoulder mount is not that big, surprisingly.
I had mine done with imitation teeth/ tusks, then had the REAL teeth mounted on a plaque which I put below the mount, with the tail next to it.

Here’s my idea of what I would do when I shoot one. Low octagon base with the skull laying in the artificial water they use surrounded by reeds . Possibly small led lights to illuminate the water at night.

I've seen the table with the oval top that @Ridgewalker posted and thought it was pretty cool! @SafariA has a neat one too, but I would probably have the wood underneath be shaped like Africa, with oval glass on top.
