I've often thought one of the things that catches my eye on a nyala is it's light forelegs. So I thought that if I ever hunted one I'd try and show it off. Then A few years ago I happened across a used book called 'A Breath from the Veldt' by John Guille Milais. Interesting story and history, and amazing artwork. One picture of a kudu bull caught my attention with it's foreleg up near the body. Perfect for a mount to both show it off and keep it out of the way on the wall and in shipping.

Well here's the drawing, and a pic of my nyala from my avatar mounted by Relive Taxidermy out of Port Elizabeth. Soon to be packed and head to Alaska.

Very creative way to get those yellow legs in view.
Congrats on a nice mount

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
