Here are some of the trophies my wife and I took on our 2023 safari in South Africa. She must have had fun as we are rebooked with Tsala in 2027 in Mozambique

Beautiful trophies, did Bullseye taxidermy do the work for you? Tsala Hunting Safaris does a great job, infact my brother and I are going back in 2026 for Buffalo!

No sir. I used Chris at Wings and Things in Ham Lake MN. Chris has done whitetail's for me in the past and I was always pleased with his work. Chris is the one hanging the Kudu for me. He delivered and help me hang everything, great guy.

Are you hunting with Tsala in SA or Moz? Either way best of luck.

South Africa, would like to do Mozambique someday! Good luck to you sir!
 
Nice trophies! Thanks for sharing.
 
Plenty room for more !!
 
Nice, congrats !
 
those are real beauties . Using the buff as the centerpiece will be a "showstopper" . Do you have another pic of the kudu in position on transom? I am in the early stages of planning a trophy room and do like your approach. Also what is your opinion on european style skull mounts ? For big buff or kudu bulls nothing compares to the chest or shoulder mount . Same for sable. That said I also like the spare, stripped down, esthetic of the skull mount. Oryx done this way can be impressive.
As an aside , If you have a shot on an good impala ram it's definitely worth considering. The thick horned, muscular, older rams present surprisingly well . Any thoughts or suggestions on mistakes to avoid or trophy room design would be most welcome.
Good luck with your project and the future hunts

That’s a well done kudu mount and looks awesome against the heavy timber construction. I believe my sable is being done on the same form as yours is-very pleasing
 
I like Euro mounts! I have them done for most of my whitetails. I also have a Gemsbok euro. I think it looks cool. If fortunate I will probably have my future buffalo done Euro.
 
I imagine that the gembok euro mount would make a strong visual statement. The long tapering horns must look great when hung on a lighter colored wall. Do you have your trophies all in a single area (trophy room) or mixed into multiple rooms. I will be converting/renovating a barn and plan for the great room to be the focal point but still up in the air on design and layout. Good luck on your nxt buffalo. Bill

We are very excited to come to Salzburg for the first time.
Should you at all have any interest in hunting with me and want to discuss different options please do not hesitate to contact me and we can set something up.

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well

Just received your book. It will be a Christmas present from my wife. Looking forward to read it.
