Dennis,

As always, truly incredible work...! The facial detail is uncomparable to any that I've seen, and your originality of the poses are remarkable.
 
Nice! Got to have a big room for it!
 
Very nice...

i am sure the hunter has a show place all picked out to display these trophy's
 
Thanks everyone, I hope I can do a custom piece for many of you in the future. This was made for a corner of a room, It's not that big. Base is approx 36 by 4,2 to top of mount is under 10 feet.

Amaizing!!!:first:

Thanks Dennis. Again, fantastic work!
 
we can see the huge effort that went into creating this master piece dennis but would you be so kind as to tell me how many hours went into it mate?
 
Thanks Bluey,
Count in design time, Alteration for poses time, welding interior structure of all animals and tree to make it all come apart for shipping, the mounting time fixing skinning flaws and skin damage, finishing time for texturing replaced damaged skin, mouth work and all the deatils.
I'd come up with a number of 100+ man hours.
 
you must go like a cut cat , i wouldve guess alot more hours than that
man you do a spectacular job
dont be shy posting many more pictures my wife loves them
thanks again
 
Dennis, the first time I saw an orange nose on a cat I thought the taxidermist had lost his mind.
Looked at some books and went to the zoo and sure enough....

Its all in the details. You have the detail.

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
