Very Impressive.

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.

 

[CamoManJ]

Totally Awesome!

Has anyone kept the full skull? If so, how can that be displayed?

 

[Fatback]

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?

Muy Bueno @Nyati!!

Te entran en la valija!!

However, finding an understanding wife is more difficult than building a huge house.

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

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

I'm going this route with my skull; Import for me was pretty streamline. Those tusks look fantastic. My tusks seem overly oversize. HA

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.

I’ve got my hippo skull sitting up on a pedestal and a blown up photo on the wall behind it.
