Just got a mail from Lifeform in SA, i dont know much about taxidermy but i think it looks good. ( They will change the ivory pedestals to oak wood as the bushbuck base).     | ||

Looks very good! I guess you can't wait to get them home!?  If I remember right you have a very classic looking english style trophy room/rooms. They will fit perfect!Anders Hunting and fishing DVDs from Mossing & Stubberud Media: www.jaktogfiskedvd.no ..and my blog at: http://andersmossing.blogspot.com | |||

ANTON, I had very good luck with Lifeform Taxidermy in the past. A very nice lady named Claire Sands took very good care of my business with them. | |||

Anton, All of them look fantastic. The tusks are outstanding! I'd love to see more photos of them when you have them arranged in your very tastefully decorated home, and away from the chartreuse green background of the Lifeform shop. Your little cigar room is one of my favorites! Glen | |||

Anton, Those overgrown teeth are awesome. I really like the bases - nice touch. If I remember, you also posted an incredible video of your hunt. Well done again! Please be aware that in the USA, importing "worked" ivory is illegal. I had heard that putting tusks on bases was cause for seizure by the fish cops. You may want to double check with your officials. I sincerely hope that your laws are a bit more enlightened than our own. Good luck! "You only gotta do one thing well to make it in this world" - J Joplin | |||

Cool... On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

I really like that elephant tail. | |||

Your trophies look good. I like the turned handle on the tail: mine is just a tail; may try to have a handle fitted. | |||

Anton: Do you have your trophies home yet? Will J. Parks, III | |||

No, I shipped them with boat so it will take ~ 7-8 weeks I will try to put up some more photos - I have a buff shouldermount and a couple of elephant foot stools / ears and some other things also. | |||
