Well,

After some time putting off the taxidermy (because I have so much in line with my guy :ROFLMAO:) I finally went ahead and got the tahr mounted. Running out of space quickly in my home I decided to do a floor mount and squeeze him into my office. Now I can look at him everyday and remember how grand and majestic the mountains of NZ are and what a hunt it was for this guy!

Outstanding Reedy
 
It's Christmas in March for me today!
 
Very nice!
 
Nice Tahr!. It is a same that it is alm0st impossible to mount them so that their mane stands up like on a live animal.
 
Looks great man!
 
A little more of the process...
