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

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

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. Paul B | |||

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. | |||

I would love a mount like that Jerry. It would blend in with the walls (my wife would like that, no trophy room sob / sob) and scare the hell out of you if you didn't realize it was there. I think it would be a beautiful mount. Regards, Chuck "There's a saying in prize fighting, everyone's got a plan until they get hit" Michael Douglas "The Ghost And The Darkness" | |||

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. _________________________________ AR, where the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history become the nattering nabobs of negativisim. | |||

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 Tim | |||

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  Jerry, maybe a little too natural. You could definately hide a soft boss under that though. Have gun- Will travel The value of a trophy is computed directly in terms of personal investment in its acquisition. Robert Ruark | |||
