I'm trying to decide what to do with a Grysbok I have. Although it was skinned lifesize, my wife suggested some type of shoulder mount on a pedestal. Any creative ideas?

The little trophies can hold their own with a good setting!

Here are Steinbok and Roe buck pedestal mounts for desk or book shelf. I used some antique hunting books for the base.




Can't seem to get the roebuck to load here is the link; roebuck

and: some other pedestal mounts


Best regards

I also like the look with the books and the mount but being a collector of old hunting books I could never bring myself to using the books like that! It's just me.

I like the table top pedestals for the "pygmy" antelope, I did my duiker on a pyramid walnut pedestal and it looks good sitting on the corner of my desk, thought I had a pic, but just looked and I don't
