Finally got my Cape Buffalo Pedestal mount home from my taxidermist and in the trophy room. Thought I would share the final result of my first Cape Buffalo hunt. If interested the hunt report from this hunt is at the link below. Taken with my Win Model 70 Safari Express in 375HH using Barnes TSX 300 gr bullet, one shot at 75 yards quartering away slightly, hunted with Motsomi Safaris in Limpopo SA right along the Limpopo River across from Zim in 2023. Bull measured 44.5" wide, 14" bosses.

Really happy with the pedestal mount done on a knotty alder pedestal.

That is awesome
 
Beautiful trophys Pat ! Thanks for sharing your story
 
Looks great! Did you do the wood work yourself?
 
Very nice mount. Looks great.

No, the wood pedestal came from my taxidermist (Monarch Taxidermy, Helena MT), they have someone in Missoula that makes their pedestals for them.
 
Nice, congrats !
 
Beautiful pedestal mount. Congratulations!

I am waiting for mine to be finished from my August 2023 hunt. Just moved into our new home and have a special place for it in the corner of my office/man cave, like you have yours displayed.
 
Thanks, I’ve been saving that spot in the corner of my trophy room area for years just for the Buffalo pedestal. Share a photo of yours with us when you get it home
 
I will do that for sure. This is a photo of the pedestal mount I am having my Buffalo mounted on.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci
