The Details That Go Into A Cape Buffalo Mount

[harden]

The amount of time to create every roll , wrinkle , muscle, and detail that goes into a buffalo mount makes everyone one of them a 2 day job to just MOUNT and get the details RIGHT . Then a 2 day job to finish, Not counting the entire 1 day job of thinning the skin down around the lips eyes and ears along with sewing the holes from shining and tanning then setting the horns. When is all comes together , ALL the DETAILS you get THIS.......

To get any more life-like you would need to cut a hole in the wall and entice the buffalo to put his head through!

Wonderful some day I hope to have the pleasure of being your client. By the way didn't want to make a new thread but the cost of a rug mounted mountain lion is $150,095.00 on your price brochure, I hope it comes with 7 pounds of gold!

I can't see the beauty of a mountain lion turned into a rug. It's a personal thing...Yep that's the price LOL.....

LOL. Love that Dennis I would want the full mount not the rug also.

I hope someone wants you to do the rug!

Thanks , 15 year old 8 mp Nikon SLR so broken the on off switch is super glued in the on position. I've dropped it on the concrete floor once to often. Cant change the lens it kinda bent on the side and won't come off to change . I put the battery in and take out to turn it on or off. I use all manual settings and all manual focus on tripod with delayed shutter trip. No lighting assistance just room light and no light shades....Seriously, My Dad and Uncle were cameramen in the graphic art industry and I learned a lot starting at age 8. Use to take all my old film pics with German Rollielfex 2 by 2 before going digital. I make the camera do what I want it to do and make it see what I want it to see , I don't let it do it's thing I make it do my thing....lol Just like in taxidermy I have probably taken a millions pictures in my lifetime. practice makes perfect.
