BigUglyManCivet Full Mount
Another pick up from Rion WHITE of Orion Taxidermy in Moose Jaw SK. This is the civet I shot in Zimbabwe in 2010 that I finally pulled the trigger on to get it full mounted. I wasn't sure if I would go with the full mount (I'm not particularly wealthy) but I figured that I'm not likely to go back to Africa any time soon, and even when I do (I'm being optimistic) the odds that I see, let alone take, another civet are so small that I really owed it to myself to do it right. Plus my PH Ian Gibson said "when people walk into your trophy room they'll walk by your buffalo and your kudu to look at that civet". At least, the people that know what they're looking at. The less knowledgeable people just look at it and say "What the hell is that?" so I guess that makes it worth it.Rion is an awesome guy and great taxidermist. He had a couple of full mounted black bears and wolves in his shop that were absolutely awesome. If you're headed to Saskatchewan to hunt I highly recommend his services.
