Long wait is over!

Matt is a really nice guy and he did some great work for you.

I love the Eland in particular. He did a great job of showing off the mass.

Thanks Royal27. He seems good and heavy, don't really have a comparison but his bases measure 12-5/8 on one side and 13 inches on the other.

Welcome!

I'm no expert either, but I agree they look thick. And the mop... gotta love the mop... when I shoot an eland that is what I want.

Looking good! Massive Eland

I think you have just enough room left for a zebra rug.

Sounds good to me - Mountain Zebra?

I think you have enough floor space for Mtn & Burchells.

The eland is an impressive trophy. Congrats on taking such a good one!

That damn Eland was on steroids & Rogaine!!!!

He had the build & the tuft. Massive.

Professional photos just arrived....

I just received some professionally taken photos of some of my first safari trophies. These were sent compliments of Matt at All American Taxidermy. I was surprised at what a difference a pro eye and some good lighting can make.
I thought I would share a few of them with AH.
51" Kudu - Namibia - AUAS Gamelodge.

Cape Eland - Score Pending

I think the pro photos from the taxidermist better reflect his workmanship.

Outstanding photo work

 

[caddman]

I think so too CAustin, unfortunately I don't know who was responsible for taking them to credit accordingly.
