Hyena mount

Has anyone done anything with a hyena rather than a full body or even shoulder mount? Does a Euro mount (or full skull) look good, or are pics just the way to go if you're not doing a skin-on type mount??

Hyena rugs look good. Euro mounts are for antlered or horned game usually. Full skulls are good conversation pieces.

"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."

I have seen a small desktop bust (pedestal) that looked pretty neat.

WannabeBwana,

I did a rug and was very please with it. I also had the skull mounted on a plaque. A hyena skull is unique and looks very much like something from a Sci-Fi movie. The hyenais a very under rated trophy in my opinion.

Stole it from Andrew (fairgame). He said to make sure you make the "mane" stand up and lower the rear haunch when you do mine. Big Grin

We'll talk later.
