Jerry, that would be hell of a mount. How would you duplicate the wet mud?

That mud bath looks soothing.

Be careful what you ask for... I head to Mozambique in September to hunt the Marromeu swamp. Bound to be some muddy buff there! Big Grin


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.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

While I'm at work, my very helpful little girl would probably hit it with windex and some paper towels to surprise Daddy and fix his buffalo ....

One thing for sure, you won't have to worry about hiding the seam down the back.

I am not a big taxidermy fan in general, but WOW, if you can capture that attitude and look, I couldn't resist.

Jerry, your buffalo always look far cleaner and neater than those ratty field photos that I am always seeing of them, sort of like they get a makeover during the mounting process. This is not a jab, your buffalo mounts always look nice enough to hang in a game room, rather than being a dirty, scabby, lice ridden smelly creature that they are. Maybe you should do the next one like that picture.

You could always add the mud on at home by yourself and put it outside to dry on a sunny day. I don't know if Mr. Huffaker would be OK with that though.

Put me down as one who would like a mount like that. In the meantime how about a painting or poster of this one. Like someone said earlier the look and the attitude conveyed...awesome

Well, you could take any young green bull and pile the rest of the epoxy "mud" on top -- make it like it ought to have been...

So that's why they call them dagga boys homer
Jerry, maybe a little too natural.
You could definately hide a soft boss under that though.
