Bill CA few Trophies from Masailand (Tanzania)
Kudude, my taxidermist takes the pictures in his studio before pickup/delivery. Nothing fancy, just the background and some track lighting...and a bit of knowledge regarding photography too I would suppose. The ones he took of my Dall sheep and mulie are excellent too (I used Photoshop to merge them). Obviously Wes is very talented.

Mule Deer MountThe Lesser kudu mount is awesome, and the craftsmanship on the base stunning. I think I may have to make room for one more pedestal!

L. David KeithExcellent quality on the mounts Bill. You should post Wes's link if he has one. Congrats on taking some very nice trophies too.

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."

Bwana NderoboGood God, it's like porno for hunters. Your trophy room should be used as an advertisement for Tanzania!! I would wish you "Good Hunting", but it appears you've got that nailed. BN

BwannaBill, Those are great trophies and incredible mounts. There is certainly something to be said with shipping the entire hunt home as a dip and pack and then having the option to work with taxidermists and how things are mounted after they get here.

Bill CAnother one for the wall...
Fringe Eared Oryx:
My trophies from Cameroon arrived a few weeks ago (just 8 months, stunning) and Wes has them on their way to Carolina Fur for tanning. Target is Jan/Feb for completion of my
Lord Derby pedistal mount.
Can't wait!!!
