Mounts are nice, wall color doesn't provide enough contrast.

Glad you like the office set up. Have just never spent the time to post any pictures before of the office.

Matt - I have used several different taxidermist as I always like to see the work and quality of anyone that I would recommend a client to and would not recommend a taxidermist unless I have personally had my own trophies done from them and can then give an honest personal opinion. The Buffalo pedestal was done by Animal Artistry. You are welcome anytime, just make sure I am in country and in office. I would hate for you to show up with a dry mouth and I not be in the office Smiler

Ed - stop by anytime

Tony - thanks

Adam,

One of these days I'll actually have to come down and see the company office. The civet/guinea and the caracals/duiker are really cool.

Thanks guys.

Al - Yes, that is one heck of a Roan for sure. That is a Western Roan from Cameroon and should go around #9 or #10 in the SCI as it scored 81 and change. Should be the largest taken in Cameroon or that has ever been recorded in the SCI book, but overall will get up to 9 or 10 +/-. I thought I was happy with my E.A. Roan from Tanzania until I got this one!

Great looking office Adam! The LDE is awesome, as are the full mount poses of the nyala and bushbuck.

In the 1st and 3rd picture, in front of the desk under the plant, is that your red duiker from Cameroon? Assuming so, could you email me a few solo pictures, I am going to get mine mounted this year at some point and need to select a form/pose and this looks real good.

Shame though, the only thing missing is a Lolkisale Tommy. Big Grin

Adam Clements
Glad you guys like it, and it makes my work days pleasant looking at all the memories.

muygrande - look forward to you stopping by sometime.

Bill - Had to put the giant eland in the office as I am out of room at the house and the office has been my overflow. I could not let you enjoy your tommy for too long and have one at the taxidermist to match yours Wink Took a nice tommy last year as I was feeling left out. I do have a shoulder mount of a tommy from long ago, but have to have a full mount of this beautiful animal. Yours looks great. I also took another Lesser Kudu for a full mount as my shoulder mount just does not do this animal justice. Did I show you the outcome of my Bongo trophy?

From yon far country blows:

What spires, what farms are those?

I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went

ADAM NICE OFFICE AND TROPHIES, IF I COULD MAKE A SUGGESTION. THE WHITE DROP CEILING TILES DETRACT FROM YOUR OFFICE. YOU CAN GET COLORED CEILING TILES AND PAINT THE METAL. WOULD COMPLETE YOUR LOOK. I DID MINE AND IT IS AMAZING THE DIFFERENCE.

Bill C - Yes that Duiker in my office to the left of the Dik Dik is my Red Flanked Duiker from Cameroon. I did not do anything fancy and just a simple standing mount. I will e-mail you some pictures, so you can decide on how to do yours. You will notice that right horn is broken off on this old guy and I elected to leave it as is to show the character. Look at the Bongo mount below how I did the Blue Duiker and Peters Duiker for when you do your forest hunt in the future.

Al & Anton- I have attached a few pictures below of some of the trophies I have in my modest trophy room. That is the problem I have in that I did not allocate enough space for a lot of trophies and only have 1 little room where I have some trophies. I still have around 20 trophies at the taxidermist on hold as I have no where to put them right now. I have also put a few of my trophies in a clients of mine trophy room for now and will put some pictures of those up here in a few days as I have trophies scatterred around.

Jeff H - You are very correct on the ceiling tiles and do not like them either and would like to have more of a wood ceiling with proper lights etc., but do not want to spend any money fixing up a rental office too much and is fine for now.

Top predator - Personally I have shot 7 myself, but most of these were in my younger days growing up in Tanzania. Could write a book about my young days growing up in Tanzania & Kenya! With clients I have guided I think it is around 30 +/- so far, but have not kept exact count. The credit though for all the great trophies our clients take goes to our great PH's in Tanzania and the great outfitters we represent. Brian van Blerk who has worked for me since 1998 has taken 98 leopards and over 40+ lions as of last year. One of the best PH's in Africa today.

SG Golds - The rug I had made from a bunch of back skins I had. I had this done by Brush Country in Houston. Back skins come in very handy for pedestals or rugs.

Wow! Great looking room! Sounds like you need an addition to your house.

Who did those pedestals? They are quite nice and unique. I especially like the giraffe.

Thanks for sharing!

Adam, that bongo/duiker mount is fabulous, very well done. Some day I hope...but with 2xPSU including one which wants to be a Doc and a third one in 5th grade...I doubt it.

What's the story w/the white rhino, did you take this one?

You have to agree, those porcupine make much better mounts with their heads on! Wink Big Grin

I particularly like the Nyala.

Al - The pedestals done with rock were done by the Wildlife Gallery.

Bill - Yes, I shot the rhino back in 2000 and just did a replica of it. Keep saving for that Bongo as you gotta get one someday. That was one of my favorite hunts. You got me sitting here laughing about the porcupine! the leopine rotflmo

Anders - good luck on your trophy room and the advise I can give you is make sure you build it big enough. Do not build it for what you have now and make sure it is big enough to hold your future hunting.

Thanks Bob

Anton - You are up at bat my friend and now you have to go get one along with the ele there for you.
