DennisHPNorthern Sitatunga Mount
This was taken this past September in the Kigosi. The hunt report is here:
SitatungaThe longest horn is 28 2/8. It ranks number 9 SCI and curiously enough, the pending new number one for Rowland Ward. I say curiously enough because the current number one is 27 3/8 but the RW on-line book show many more that are longer. Apparently RW changed the way they score things years back?

SGraves155Dennis, congratulations. That's a very well done mount, too. Were you closer to Palm Camp or to the one on the Kigosi river (?Sable-camp) when you got him?

DennisHPHi Steve. Yes, I stayed in Sable camp and this fellow was found a couple hours away from there to the south.
I forgot to mention that the taxidermy was done by Rick Leach Taxidermy in Portland, Oregon. This is the first time I've used Rick and he is also doing shoulder mounts of a Hyaena and a Sable and doing European mounts of 2 buff, a hartebeast, a Topi, and a Bohor Reedbuck.

Marc_StokeldWonderful! The sitatunga is one of my favorite African animals. You have a very nice one and the mount is very beautiful.
