BaxterBThat's a gemsbok who got caught tending another cow and his wife bitch-slapped him so hard it knocked his horn wonky. He took your bullet with aplomb and relief to be finally rid of the life that had become nothing but a rote exercise of dish washing, house projects and yard mowing.

Todd WilliamsI would say it's a picture of a mounted non-typical Oryx of some type hanging on the wall of someone's trophy room, along with a few other items such as a couple of guns, a picture of a hunter with his Brown Bear, and 4 duck calls!

Michael RobinsonA nice collection of duck calls, hung on the same hook as an oryx tail swish, located just below a great brown bear trophy photo, and above and to the right of a .22 caliber semi-auto Thompson replica, and below and to the right of a double barreled shotgun of unknown make, and behind what appears to be a drunk and disorderly fringe eared oryx?

One of the duck calls may in fact be a goose call as the lanyard that the call is tied to also has what appears to be 7 or 8 goose leg bands.

PostDriverThe goose call call appears to be a Scoby?

Oh, and a Beisa oryx that was taken by bulldogging.

jeff hOK focus guys
Thompson is a 45 cal. kept behind my desk in case I need to spray the room
it is my personal office
wooden call was my Dad's
duck bands not goose bands
it is me in the brown bear pic

Milo ShanghaiTaxidermsit smashed the trophy and had to remake the horns from Play-Doh. Your central heating feeds into that corner of the room.

jeff hGood humor and Thank you.
Here is the Story: 2005
Hunting with Bundu in Masiland Tan. Booked by our friend Wendell (who loves horses)
Charles Horsley was my PH. We were looking at this Fringe-Eared Oryx, Charley says he only has one horn, I say no he has two and I want him. (My Bino's were better than his)
I now have a very different Fringe-eared oryx which I love this kind of animal.
2 years later Taxidermist tells me the hair slipped and he could not mount it. I tell him to keep the ears. Never could find another Fringe-Eared cape so I opt for gemsbok they are a little differnt in the face, not much but marking different. So its a Fringe-Eared Gemsbok

Just got it back with my Roan.
And you call youselfs experts

Good Fun.
