just got notification that my animals being done at Lauriston Taxidermy in the East Cape, SA will be finished and ready to ship very shortly, this is going to be quicker than I thought, I figured April at the earliest. now I have to get to work on the pedestal for the Sable and mounting attachments for the Kudu and Zebra shoulder mounts and the 2 euro mounts of 2 Warthogs and Cape Buffalo and keep my wife's little dog off the back of the couch were the Zebra back skin will go . can't wait!
 
Looking forward to some pictures, Greg does some pretty good work.
 
Maybe give us a preview if I may ask. You've got some pictures of the animals taken you would share? Would love to see them.
 
This is with Intaba Safaris in the East Cape SA in April 2023

Anytime a zebra is so dark it looks like white on black, it puts a smile on my face. Congrats.
 
Have had several very good interactions with lauriston taxidermy in the past. Eager to see how yours turn out
 
Beautiful trophies, sir! Interested to see how the taxidermy will turn out. I would be stoked with those trophies.

What caliber did you use for the buffalo?

rifle is a CZ 550 Safari Magnum .458 Win Mag +P loaded to 3.680 coal shooting a 404 gr Shock Hammer bullet at 2460 fps 78.0gr of AA2230 powder, bullet never recovered
 
I think I will ask Greg if he would be so kind and send me pictures of the animals when he is finished and will post them, hopefully he will

Greg was super accommodating back in 2019, I’m sure he’ll send pictures if you ask him of the finished taxidermy before crating. He may balk a little about pictures during the process because many people don’t realize how rough things look during the mounting process.
 
I just emailed asking if he would send me pictures when finished so I could post them and it would be advertising his work, we will see what happens as I was also told yesterday due to the Holiday coming up everything would be shutting down till after the new year so a little bit more waiting

Went through the same deal in 19/20 and then Covid hit and everyone knows how that screwed everything up.

Do you have any cull hunts available? 7 days, daily rate plus per animal price?
