What did you do with your hippo skull?

I haven’t shot one but this upped my interest in doing so.

I just did a regular euro mount. Don’t have it in hand yet. Should be shipping soon. Once I get it, I will post up some pictures.
 
Dang! That really gives more perspective of what damage they can release on a person.

Simple presentation. The oak base is 2.5 inches thick and was made by a friend.
 
Hi all - Just seeking ideas for a hippo skull. Any ideas?
I've just kept the tushes (teeth) but never the skull. It would make a great conversation piece. Maybe the next time I am forced to shoot one for bait I'll bring one home.
 
This is the last I saw of my last one that went MISSING then supposedly got destroyed ?

Next to it is a true Monster Bull, I must check where it went !

Breaks my heart as I collect skulls & something keeps happening to keep me from getting one home, even lost a Elephant Skull I had lined up, but it was the paperwork holding that up (and cost of shipping)
 
I put the teeth from one of my hippos on a plaque and gave them to my dentist. He got a kick out of the gift. I think….

Any report about the hunt here on African Hunting .com?

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
Two African Safaris Hunted South Africa both times,
