First I've ever seen that layout style.
I like it a lot. Somehow it seems more dramatic than a skull due to the contrast of the wood.

Very well done.
 
Has anyone kept the full skull? If so, how can that be displayed?
 
both those display boards look really nice.

That could be nice, but I just don´t have the space.

Here is an example

That's a big problem with hunting and keeping trophy parts. You either need to have a huge home or a understanding wife.

I have neither so I can place my trophies where ever I want.
 
I LOVE that look on the board. I have been considering putting a land hippo on my short list and displaying it that way just added points.

Do you get to avoid any of the ridiculous import/inspection costs with this route?

Unfortunately, no.

I hunted this hippo in 2022, export license, CITES permit, import license, you must be very patient when the authorities don´t like you hunting these animals

:mad:
 
My hippo skull is heading home now. This is what I plan on doing. I’ll update once in the states and the project is done
Same here!

No the big house doesn't work without an understanding wife... Best is a dedicated trophy room that she has signed off on. But it has to also be big enough and laid out well.
