Picked up the skull of my Baboon from the taxidermist yesterday. Evil little creatures. Spent 4 hours sitting on a water hole watching groups of Gemsbok and Zebra as they came in, and this little bastard came in and ran everything out of the country. He just made a bad decision and ran straight away accross the sand. However he couldn't run out run a bullet.

Also the tannery called while I was at the taxidermists and they said they coldn't get any of my hides to rehydrate. Both myself and the taxidermist think that is a crock. We're having them sent back and will be sending them to another tannery. It just puts the mounts out a couple more months that we had orriginaly planned.


Yes it's cocked, and it has bullets too!!!

Bummer. Tannery's like Taxidermists should be chosen wisely. Like most businesses, there are the good, the bad and the ugly. Hope it works out for you Rhys.

"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."
