Christmas came a week early!

[Rider717]

Got my trophies from my 2019 safari back. Thought we be moved into a new and bigger house by now but life intervened. Here are some pictures. The sable is from my second trip and now he has company. The black and blue on the wall are from 1st safari. 2nd blue is bigger than I remember. Cannot believe how big the buffalo on a pedestal turned out. Since my wife has slowed the moving process down she now gets to watch TV with the baleful gaze of the buffalo 8 feet away.

Wow! Congrats! Those look very nice!

Congrats on an early present to yourself!! Thanks for sharing!

 

[Cam Moon]

Those look like they turned out quite well! Who did the work for you? And did they construct the pedestals as well? That 2nd blue is certainly an impressive beast, but they all look good. I really like the way you have your Springbok slam presented. I think it shows well. Congratulations, and enjoy!

 

[Uncle Sauce]

Merry Christmas to you! Those all look awesome!

I used Taxidermy America in Houston for this safari. They constructed the bases. I had great communication with them and was able to make adjustments on some mounts as they were being done. They have a "utube" channel and you can watch them doing the springbok and roan mounts. Chris there came up with the mount for the springbok. I just wanted all of them to be looking in different directions. I am really pleased with how they all turned out. I wish my photos could do them justice. I haven't even taken a good picture of the full Nyala or the wall mounts yet!
