Where to find Hippo skull?

Shot a Hippo in Zimbabwe and didn’t export it since it was a PAC and no trophy fee paid.

I have always loved the way the hippo skull looks.

Where to find one?

I have a hippo skull and I agree that it makes a very interesting piece in a trophy room. I just Googled "Hippo Skull for Sale" and lots of different stuff came up. Some of it garbage and some seemed interesting. Some nice looking replicas came up, but they are pricey. If you look at some of the large taxidermy auction sites, you may find something. Good luck.

Wendell,

I happen to have just imported one I have no use for. Send me a PM.

I'd planned on mounting the skull with tusks, so brought the whole thing home and then decided to just do the tusks. Let me know ASAP if you want it before my taxidermist disposes of it.

I'll tell them to hold it in the mean time. If they still have it, it's yours, sans tusks.

I would think someone could do replica tusks if you wanted them.

Still need a Hippo skull. What are the odds you still gave it?
