Graftonkudu wall pedestal
Just finished up this wall pedestal mount.
I like the dark color on the face and neck of this kudu, pretty I think.

bwanamrmEast 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

GraftonTo 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.
