Measuring Trophies

[gcbailey]

Good evening AH members! I have my first African animal, my first true trophy sized Sable that I am curious about measuring. It is currently at the taxidermist in SA. If I have it mounted, can I still have it measured by an SCI specialist?

As already noted the answer is YES. If you are really interested, do it as soon as practical because horns vs antlers- horns can REALLY SHRINK over time vs antlers, that although do shrink, not at the rate of horns. I have a kudu from 2007 that has shrunk almost two inches in length since then.

Thank you. I had looked through that thread but I couldn’t find whether it could be mounted or not prior to measuring, but my brain at 4am may have missed it.

Thank you! I didn’t realize horns shrank that much. I’ll get them measured as soon as they get here!

When you get it back give me a yell. I’m a SCI Measurer and will be happy to score for you.
