Jerry HooverNICE! 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

thornellLooks great Bob!
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)

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

Bob in TXmuygrande,
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,

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."
