Thanks to everyone who watched this thread develop. It’s been a blast for both Erik and I. I know Erik will have additional pictures to post. I look forward to getting them home and enjoying them for hopefully many years to come. Hopefully I’ll get back to Africa next year, I have a possible second date with Mr. Spots!

Thanks for starting this thread guys! It has been fun and interesting. I had no doubt that your animals were going to be done to your satisfaction. Erik has worked his ass off, except for lounging on a unicorn floatie in the pool(which looked gay as hell BTW)! Lol
Excellent work and congratulations to both of you guys!
Cheers,
Cody

A couple of members have asked about the nose on the buffalo as it looks rounded, here’s a picture of my buffalo after I shot him. You can see that he has a ‘ Roman’ nose shape which Erik recreated to the pose.

So who brushes the teeth? The Taxidermist or the Hunter/Owner?

Wow, I skip a day, and I come back to two pages of post and the buff is done! LOL!!! Gents this has been one of the best post I have followed since I've been a member. This post had everything, suspense, fun, the progress of the mount, oh yeah, and the pole dancer. Great job.

On a serious note, outstanding job Erik, that is one beautiful mount. JB, I know you'll need a bigger house. Hopefully when you move to GA, I'll get an invite to see the mount in person.

I agree. Great work Erik and thank you and Johnny for including all of us on the process. Highly enjoyable post to follow.

One more thing I need to mention and compliment on is Erik received my capes in March and everything completed in July. Cant beat that! That's my kind of turn around. Once I have everything and I can actually see them in person I ll give members an update.

I don't know about you guys but I am patiently waiting for final pictures of my buffalo. Just kidding brother.....Hey @Bullthrower338 I m starting to believe he's on that unicorn float somewhere! Oh ya with some kind of colored drink no less!

No doubt! Or maybe he is slurking around a clays match checking out college girls in booty shorts, but that is just a guess!

Well maybe a little of that too

Probably in the shade with a cold one. Hit 109 in Southern Ok today. Figure it is that or worse in Texas panhandle

 

[johnnyblues]

Final photos...….. Please..

Dammit, when he said LED, I thought that was an acronym for Little Exotic Dancer!
