This is one of the bulls Wendell killed when he was in Kigosi, this was the trip where is contracted malaria. Should be some fond memories every time he looks at this mount.

Nice buff. That one would probably be worth a little malaria. The color of the granite compliments the mount well.

That's one of the nicest pedestals I've seen Good attention to detail and actually finished nicely ie: sanded etc. Most pedestals are pretty rough looking. I know it's not about the pedestal but it's an integral part of the whole thing and should be nice.

Nice mount, Jerry. tu2

Thanks for the info on the granite tops a while back. Chris is putting a Kudu ped on one this week. Having trouble with my printer transferring my pics. Will try to post a picture when completed.

Kind regards,

Jerry delivered it last week and it is stunning! It has become my favorite mount.

You guys have no idea just how big it is. This guy takes up some room, but it is well worth it.

Jerry is doing a second one for me, a Buffalo that I think it better than this one, same base, different pose. Possibly mirror image. Use them as huge bookends! Big Grin
