That's a big one!

Have you done one with the ears back?
Thank you Ted, no I haven’t set the ears back on one but it’s very simple. The position of the ear buds doesn’t change. It’s just a matter of placing the ears at the proper angle and matching reference photos.
 
That looks awesome Gizmo, love the real look of them horns. Cant wait till I have one added.

Looking good, another happy client in the making!
 
Waterbuck are one of my favorite plains game animals. Beautiful animal and a terrific mount.
 
Breakthrough magazine issue 52 has a lovely picture of a fresh killed waterbuck eye and ear butt, with the ear laid back, relaxed in death. its a lovely reference photo-

Hey buddy I'm doing form modifications on ya'lls Aoudad right now.
 
Very handsome! On my bucket list!
 
Nice, Gizmo. How big is he? Horns on mine are Left side 32", Right side 31 3/4.

I haven’t measured him but if I get time I certainly will.
 
Nice mount also on my list to have if all goes well I will hopefully bump into a good bull on our Easter hunt.
 
Erik, you are one busy guy constantly going! I only wish I had some of your energy!
It’s very interesting to see how your taxidermy improves every time you post it! It is looking really great!

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
