NICE! Who dod your taxidermy? Was it done in Africa or in Texas? I am leaving for Namibia in 5 weeks and am curious as to the quality of Namibian taxidemy on skins and rugs. Any advice, suggestions, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Jerry Hoover

Hey Jerry,

Bob Wilkins at Wildlife Artistry in Cameron, TX did the work. Here is a link to his site:

Dodie Wilkins, Bob's wife, does the rugs and pillows. Her zebra rugs are some of the best I've ever seen (and I owned a taxidermy shop for several years). They have a carpet backing and the edges are wrapped in black leather. Very classy!!

You won't go wrong with her rugs.

And so if you meet a hunter who has been to Africa, and he tells you what he has seen and done, watch his eyes as he talks. For they will not see you. They will see sunrises and sunsets such as you cannot imagine, and a land and a way of life that is fast vanishing. And always he will will tell you how he plans to go back. (author: David Petzer)

The pillows are great! I will probably have my kudu done similar to yours due to low ceilings at my house.

Bob, congratulations and very nice work on the mounts/rugs/pillows. Looks like your practice at Cedar Ridge paid off in spades.

muygrande,

Thanks! .......and yes it did. I broke my elbow on a hog hunt a few weeks ago and just got it out of the cast. I can't wait to start shooting again.

Good Hunting,

Bob

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

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."

Wow Bob! Those are some of the nicest rugs and definitely the nicest pillows I have seen.

What a great trophy/memory!
