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.

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
