The taxidermist just texted me that my cape buffalo is ready to be picked up! I shot this one with Charlton McCallum Safaris in the Dande back in Sep of ‘21. It took a long time to get it to the US. Schwarz Studio Taxidermy in St. Louis did the taxidermy.

Congratulations! He looks like a grand old bull!
 
I was in Dande just after you, I think I remember taking a pic of the skull in the skinning shed.

I like that mount, not over painted.
 
Perfect bull, not much hair, worn horn tips, tattered ears, decent drop, good bosses and spread and as others have said he looks as if he still has a chip on his shoulder!
 
Love it!

Thanks! The taxidermist asked me how I wanted it. Black or grey. I gave him a bunch of pictures and I think he nailed it.

Don’t know why that picture loaded twice! Oh well.
 
A proper bull.

Sir, I will gladly take that 16 gauge off your hands. I was waiting for your Winchesters but I'm a sucker for a 16 ga.

I bought a great deal of the brass he had for sale, plus I already had many hundred rounds.

How much brass are you looking for?
