Hopefully, these will post - they are from the my photo section. But the folks at TrueLife Taxidermy in Granbury, Texas have finished the buffalo I shot in the Caprivi several years ago with Dries Alberts and Jamy Traut. He is an honest 42 inch duggaboy that I finally decided I was unlikely to better. So last February I sent the skull to them where they were able to mate it with a virtual twin cape of the bull I shot. He is the animal in my avatar and below.

I think they did a fabulous job, and it will be delivered Saturday ......... where I am putting it, I am not entirely sure.:(

It is always the way. Where am I going to out it?

Very nice job on your trophy. Congrats on the success.

Show us the spot when you get it placed. :ROFLMAO:
 
Thank you.
 
I thought about getting my Bull mounted and then I started thinking about 42 inch wide horns and what that meant. Almost 4 feet wide... Where the hell was I going to put it?
I understand the task ahead of you.

Most welcome. Thanks for sharing the good results.
 
Very nice!
 
Very, very nice...(y)
 
Now that's a great looking buff mount.
 
Taxidermy problems? Oh boy, that is problem, he is HUGE.
 
Wow...very nice. What a great buffalo!
 
Stunning....

I'm going to show the pic to my wife and tell her she should be thankful I got a small one! :E Big Grin:
 
Nice, congrats!
 
Great looking bull. Taxidermy is top notch. Look forward to seeing a photo when you get it situated.

Hi EGS

I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
