Jerry,
Great work, as usual! Makes me think I should have done my gemsbok on a pedestal. Maybe next time. BTW, I need to send you photos of the trophy room. Everyone raves over your work!Happy holidays.

Excellent work, Jerry. And great trophies Charles.


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!

I hope you didn't use up all your skills before you got to my buffalo. If it looks as good as these two, I'll be happy.

Jerry brought the mounts to my office Friday morning (how's that for service?) and the pictures do not do them justice. They are even better in person and I could not be more pleased. beer

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Beautiful mounts. How much floor space do pedestal mounts take? How big of a corner would be required for these trophies?

Not sure if this helps, but here are some pics with a better sense for size. Jerry probably has a good idea of actual floor space measurements. I have not put a tape measure down to check, but could do it next week some time.
