That looks great!

Love the face.

The bloody ribs are a very nice touch.

Is that a black bear nose? Trade secrets... Big Grin

I really like the ribs but my wife would struggle with that. I am better off having horns or something but I think it is another awesome mount with a little something different. Very nice.

It's the Hyena's real nose.

My wife's fine with the bloody ribs. Neither of us like the perfectly clean skull in the mouth look. Just not realistic. Like leaving the enlarged clitoris off the large female Hyena like this one. Just wouldn't feel right to us.

Well executed Jerry!


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.

We've had a lot of folks over since getting the Hyena from Jerry. Not a single remark on the ribs. Everybody gets focused on the face and the head turn. We have her quartered to the wall so she's looking back into the room at an angle and it's a bit haunting. She's a real big Hyena and feels even bigger in the house.

Jerry, I love this mount. You nailed it!!
