Here's a kudu that I recently did for a friend. He took this bull with me in southern Zimbabwe a few years back (he just recently wanted me to start his taxidermy work from the trip).

Beautiful bull that was JUST shy of the magic 60" mark.

Man what a bull! Nice job Scott!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Excellent color on the horns as mentioned. Good work Scott. Nothing worse than seeing a majestic Kudu mounted with black horns Frowner

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

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......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Scotty,

Back in about 2000 (+/- a year or so) did you take a Nyala to the Houston Texas Trophy Hunters Convention? I am trying to figure out if that was you I met down there.

Good work on the Kudu!
