Just ballpark please for budgeting purposes. I won't hold you to it.

For a shoulder mount, cape buffalo what would be the price range here in the US and in Africa?

I know that this thing will take up an entire corner of the gunroom but I've been wanting to hunt Buff for 40+ years.

Thanks for any information,


Frank

Thanks guys.

Jerry I've seen the quality of your work so $1350 seems like a bargain.

I don't think you could go wrong with Jerry. Great price, great work. He has shown some fantastic Cape Buffalo work the past couple of years here.
I was going to have him do mine, but the local guy offered to do it for about the same $$$ when I figured the shipping both ways. And, I could drop by and watch a little.

In no order: we have some of the best right here on AR, and forgive me, I'm sure I'll miss some guys I don't know:
Grafton Cromwell/Safari Arts - VA
Jerry Huffaker - TX
Dennis Harris/The Artistry of Wildlife - MI
Dan/Wildlife Gallery - MI
Chris Krueger (Mary's husband) - AZ
These guys deliver professional work. Any doubt, check past posts on this forum.

My list price for a Cape Buffalo wall mount is $1,595.00, and $2,500.00 for a pedestal mount. I started in Taxidermy back in 1967, and have mounted specimens legally taken from many countries of the World. I have made African game my specialty, and I would be proud to prepare your Cape Buffalo for you.

John.
