How many of you DON'T mount all your trophies?

After the next shipment from SA (2 trips combined), the animals from Zambia and my ele get here I will be done with taxidermy from Africa. We have done filming for a trip which was a nice change but then still did taxidermy, if looking at it as a "savings" aspect it was counterproductive.
I will still do some mounts of unique or specialized animals, just depends on the situation.
With somewhere around 75 pieces of taxidermy in the house already its time to swap to pictures and keep hunting!
 
On the trip I just returned from this morning my plans WERE to only mount a tsessebe and red hartebeest. Euros of everything else BUT my wife saw the colors on the blue wildebeest and said “you have to mount that, it’s too pretty for just a skull”.
I may also mount my impala to replace an earlier one, he has a much more attractive shape. Euro on black wildebeest, and common springbok even though the springbok is pretty good and has great hooks.

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
