Just finished up this wall pedestal mount.

I like the dark color on the face and neck of this kudu, pretty I think.

Not a wall pedestal fan, but you make it look good.

East Cape bull?


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Love it. I would do all my animals as wall pedestals if given the option. Beautiful.

To be honest I am not sure what area in RSA. I believe it was eastern cape but I will have to check with the hunter. I know that the east cape area kudu tend to be darker. I have seen the dark faces before but I think this one had the darkest neck of any I have done.

Thanks for the comments.

Very unusual cape color for sure and it made a very stunning mount. Great piece of work.

"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."
