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......

MakairaWould you mind telling me the information for ordering a form like this so I can let my taxidermist know? I like this mount and I want to display as much shoulder(s) as possible from my Cape Buffalo, so this looks like what I'm looking for. I would appreciate it. Thanks!

smarterthanuThe form won't decide how great a mount is but Jerry's hands will. If I were you I would consider sending the skin and horns to Jerry. You probably won't regret it.

Jerry HuffakerThanks Ben and everyone else for the kind words.
Makaira,
I use Mckenzie and Tom Weickums Cape Buffalo forms for my buffalo. I do a substantial amount of work on the heads to get the look that hunters want in Buff mount. You can't just buy a form and glue a skin on it.

MakairaYou certainly do excellent work. Every mount I've seen from this and other pictures you've posted here are absolutely lifelike and real looking.
I hope my taxidermist does not buy this form and just glue my Cape Buff skin on it!
Hopefully I will be fortunate enough that he will put as much time and care in my mount as you do with yours.
Thanks for responding, I appreciate it!

PSmithNot only is that an exceptional bull, but you have really captured that 'I hate you for shooting me' look.
