What did you do with your hippo skull?

I have always been curious about this too…thanks for asking, I keep
forgetting to do so
 
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….

At Kalahari Safari, the Small Things Are the Big Things
The thrill of the stalk. The stillness of the wait. The age-old rhythm of the hunt.
It’s not just about the size of the trophy. It’s about the stories that will be told for years.
We believe the memories are the true prize. The small things are the big things.
And we’re proud to offer a hunting experience that honours exactly that.

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.
