Staley KeckBlue Wildebeest Eye Color?
Ok, I'm in need of some friendly advice, I'll be putting together a blue wildebeest wall pedestal mount and I'm having a hard time to decide on the eye color. The recommended eye color from Mckenzie says yellow brown so I ordered it, to me it looks much more yellow than the harvest photos I have of him. Could it be that some other color may work better, perhaps caribou eyes? Thanks for everyones input, I've finished the blesbok yall gave me advice on a few months ago.

sculptorI always use the darker bighorn sheep eyes for wilderbeest. They are yellow brown but toned down perfect in my opinion.

<The Artistry of Wildlife>I'll second that one
I also will use a waterbuck eye for wildebeste
It's a DARK YELLOW Brown also
Just like Jims sheep eye

Staley Keck10-4 on that, thank you both for your input, I'll get those ordered!
I will go with "The Artistry" and recommend the waterbuck eyes. I like the darker yellow-brown as too often the lighter eyes appear much brighter than they should, in my opinion.
