My taxidermist is whittling away at the pile of my critters awaiting his handiwork. Here's the latest that he's done for me:




A couple of years ago, I posted pictures of my Trophy Room. I've done some additions and re-shuffling. Here's what it looks like today.

Very Nice!

Buffy,
It all looks great!! That is one toad of a reedbuck, where did it come from?

Good looking stuff!

Beautiful mounts. Congratulations !!!

You have a 1St class taxidermist! Very nice collection, congrats!

Happy hunting

Thanks for the compliments. I've used this taxidermist since the mid 80's. He doesn't have the quickest turnaround time, but I really like his work.

These latest additions bring my total mounts to 50, and I definitely didn't make my trophy room big enough.

I shot that Common Reedbuck on a property called Kameelcop near Dundee in KZN. It was a very beautiful property with grassy plains, rolling hills, some big rocky cliffs, and thick brush areas. Unfortunately, I was one of the last hunters there, as the South African government forced the white owners to sell the property to the blacks.

Buffybr,
My first trip over I hunted on a RSA govt concession that had not had sport hunters in 20 years, It was called Nylsvly (Sp). It was incredible, I saw some reedbucks that looked like damn waterbucks, couldn't add, my budget would not allow it. I really regret it today.

Lets see some more photos of the other stuff

Thanks, Steve, but actually it's 3/8" T&G Cedar that is untreated and has 20 years of fading.
