Very nice room. You're very lucky to have those high ceilings.

I love the framed info. Such a great idea, I'll have to remember it

Very nice!

High ceilings make display a lot easier plus you have more options.

Very nice room. It really had to be a bugger getting some of those large mounts up that high - sure hope you had some help.

Nickudu - I definitely agree with your statement about my wife! I don't think I could have asked for more. She tolerates my hunting, is fine with these mounts as long as the mounts don't end up in the bedroom, and even went along with me on the last Africa trip.

I doubt I'd trade her for another, though I'll always consider reasonable offers

I had to put my German shorthair down a few years back. BUT...any interest in a vintage Sound Design 8-track tape player with about 300 used tapes?? I can even throw in a couple Frank Sinatra LPs. -TONY

How about sending a favorite PG trophy pic for later use in the Nickudu Files? Thanks.

Tony - While the proposed trade would allow me to play my Meatloaf "Bat out of Hell" 8 Track again, I think I'll have to decline the offer. Thanks anyway.

Nickudu - What size image would you prefer? I can probably find something for you.

Brad,



Well, can't say I didn't try. Suppose I added a slightly used -- but still seviceable -- half Frenh/half Irish lady? Had her around for 45 years now, but maybe we should both sample something new. -TONY

Tony - Window shopping is probably allowed, sampling probably not!

SnakeLover..



What an impresive room! What did your Kudu, Letchwe, and Eland measure out?



If you could I would love to get the info on those frames below your trophies for these 3 animals.

Mabelingwane - The information underneath each of the mounts is as follows:

Species
Data Taken
Location Taken
Hunter
Outfitter
Score/Size

As to the size of the three, the kudu is average at best. It scored 98" SCI, with horn length of 40" each, but I really liked the WIDE spread and so shot him. The Cape Eland is above average, scoring 101 3/8" SCI, with horn length of just over 38" and 37". The lechwe is by far the "best" compared against a record book. He scored 73 7/8" SCI with horn length of just over 30" and 29" each. It would be top 10 wtihin SCI.
