Here is some stuff I got. The pictures were taken at the Taxidermist before they got moved. The Mule Deer in the Pick is NOT mine, and neither is the hyena. Just the plains Game.
The Springbuck Pedestal has 4 different back skins on it, a different on on each side. That is my favorite.
I used Alpine Artistry in Ravalli, Montana and he did a great job.

SierraBravo Impressive Springbok trimount. How much pain was the pedestal with hide inserts. It is a great idea. I am considering something similar, but wondered what the cost of a premium custom pedestal like that runs? Robert
I think it cost me around $2,500 for the pedestal complete with all of the mounts, it wasn't cheap but I wanted something one of a kind and original. Most people don't know that a steenbok that measures 6 1/8 on both horns is big, but the pedestal makes and impression.
The base is seperate from the round pedestal piece so it can be seperated for cleaning moving etc. All of the mounts are at my folks place right now besides the warthog, bushbuck and impala. They have a large log home with an "African Room" with cathedral ceilings that do the mounts justice. I don't have the wall space and short ceilings. I just got a full mounted mountain lion back from the taxidermist and I don't know what I am going to do with that yet.
I have to post the kill shots and the stories, I just haven't got around to taking them from my journal to the computer.

Originally posted by Exit31: Great pics. Nice mounts. Would like to know which calibers you used on each specimen? Hope you think of this when you post your hunt story.
Nice mounts and bases are super!
