Well, this is it....the very last payment of my safari of 2003.....the last piece of taxidermy

It's taken three years for all the details of that safari to be complete as I didn't pay for taxidermy until it was done.....and this has been worth the wait.

Have a look at my finest trophy.

It is a beauty, who was the taxidermist?

Taxidermy was done by Barry and Sheila Johnson of North Platte Nebraska.

They have been major assets to me on this entire trip as they furnished tags for shipping prior to my leaving for RSA three years ago. thumb

I think this will be his final resting place. I left this corner of the basement just for this mount and it seems like it fits OK!

Now if I can just keep that #!&$%^&^%$ Labrador from barking at it!!!!

Congrats on the beautiful mount. I just got my shipment in from Zimbabwe (Sept-Oct 2005 hunt) about two weeks ago. My taxidermist won't be able to start on them for quite some time though.
