Just finished up AR member Oday 450's hard earned Chewore buff.

Photos he sent me of the area helped me get the habitat pretty close to the ground cover in the area where the buff fell.

Habitat base will sit on a table top.

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......

Thanks Big Game Hunter. I spend a lot of time on the little things. I think it makes for a better looking, more realistic mount.

Looking forward to working on yours Shootaway!

Fantastic job as usual Grafton. I am sure that Oday 450 is pleased. Hope to have you do a buff for me one day also.

Great mount. Those wait-a-minute thorns give me a headache just remembering them last April...

Thanks guys.

Go get you one Dave....Just think, there is one with your name on it wallowing in some mud in some quiet place far into the bush, listening to the soft cooing of doves...waiting for you to show up.... tu2

Grafton,

It looks even better when you see it than it does in the photos. It drives my dogs crazy & my wife doesn't want to be near it. Too scary.

Grafton, that's beautiful work around the eyes. It does actually look alive.
