Yes it can be redone, but the cape is useless. Nearly any good taxidermist can remount this, but it will be more expensive than the first time because he will need to buy a cape.

Good luck.

You might consider taking some responsibilty for your selection of a taxidermist.

Looks like he ran into a brick wall.
I would not accept this without some return of funds or lots of really bad advertising for this guy.
Sorry your taxi guy didnt help you remember the trophy. Now, I fear all you will remember is the headache.

Looks like someone cut it's throat enough to almost de-capitate it and if that's the case I'd say the taxidermist did the best he could with what he had ... otherwise it looks like crap and I'd be unhappy too.

And I think the elk looks like something done in the 20's.

Ok, first, let me say, is this thread a joke? Is the OP for real?

I'm not replying any further unless I know for sure this is one of those BS threads or if this is real.

Jerry, is this a McKenzie form that has been altered?

Can you use this on my two Buffalo? That would be great. Can this be done as a pedestal? Or a cut-away wall mount?

Thanks.

Only a mount like this would make me lose my fear of hyenas. They scare me in a very old place (hard to shake the childhood nightmares of staying out too late after dark in Ethiopia.)
