Spie,

The zebra is leather edged. Much nicer than my other two zebra rugs which are just felt backed.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Pictures of the taxidermy from my 2002 Tanzania trip. All the work was by Jerry Huffaker who did an outstanding job.

I'm the worst photographer. Here are some pics Jerry took that are better (I've posted these before, but thought I would go ahead and add them here).







The Nyasa Wildebeest is 32 1/2" wide (and in the top 20 in SCI, although I'm not going to enter it in the record book).

Regards,

Terry

Fantastic looking mounts! The 3 buff look great next to each other.

Jerry is a great taxidermist, but he runs with a rough crew

Actually thats an inside joke since he and I have a mutual friend we like to joke about...

Jerrys work is as good as it gets...

Bob,

The croc skin is still being tanned. No plans for it now. Maybe boots or a briefcase. I'm looking for ideas as well.

Regards,

Very cool Terry! I especially liked the skull mount variant you had done on the buff.
