My African Heads Have Now Come Home

[JimP]

I have finally completed my circle that started over 2 years ago when I booked my first safari.

Here are the finished mounts, I do need to get a better photo of the kudu. The wall isn't too bad for a room with only a 7' ceiling.

More than likely I will still be moving them around until I really like them and by then I'll need to refinish the wall.

I should of mentioned that my safari was with Zungah Safari's and Tours.

Dip and pack was by Hunters & Collectors out of Port Elizabeth.

Importing was handled by the good folks at SSI from the forum here

Final taxidermy by Precision Taxidermy in Grand Junction, Colorado USA.

What a nice set you have there and a good size wall to hang them from! Congratulations! That really makes me want to get mine home!

I wished that I had a real wall to hang them on. The room that they are in only has a 7' ceiling and where I have them mounted is about a 8' wide x 7' high area. As my sister tells me it is my dead head room. I also have a euro elk, shoulder mount elk, 1 deer head and a few other things sitting on shelves.

I could say that it is close to being full but I do need a couple more smaller animals for it. My one problem is that I want a warthog that I wasn't able to connect with on my first African trip and now I am also thinking about a zebra skin rug for it as well.

Man caves come in all shapes and sizes. Yours is looking great!

 

[Ridgewalker]

Yep, if you hunt Africa, you have to have a zebra rug.
I didn't get a warthog either. I need a decent warthog skull to go on my mantel.

Very nice wall. That single shot of the wildebeest is great. Looks like he's looking right at you out of the corner of his eye.
