D99You know I have taken 3 springbok and they among my favorite African animals. Them and the Saiga remind me of Pronghorns.
Love em!

bluefinSuper job! They didn't have any springboks where I hunted. I'm hoping on my next trip to take some and this is the type of mount I'd like to have. Again, beautiful!

L. David KeithGreat looking mounts Chris! I love to hunt Springbok and appreciate my clients that want to hunt trophy class Bok's. Yesterday, I scored 3 for a client (common, white & Black) that all went SCI gold. They make impressive mounts, especially when put together as pedestals. Thanks for posting Mary. LDK

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......

Mary Hilliard-KruegerRyan,
We won't be in Reno this year, mounts are displaying solo with the Outfitter. Chris is javelina hunting. I am still not strong enough, since the accident, for a 7 day hunt of climbing those desert mountains, so I'll only enjoy the tales of his hunt and pictures. Archery javie is one of my favorite hunts too!
I'll get one next year!
I'll be in the shop working on your other tiger...lol! Call you soon.
Chris says thanks to all, for your kind words!
Kindest Regards,
Mary

AndersWonderful! I have a similar mount, but without the copper version and I kind of regret I didn`t try for one in EC last year. My outfitter did on the other hand not have any avail at the moment I was there.
I have a Kalahari as well, but not as part of the pedestal trio.
Now just waiting for a future copper and the possibility of hunting Angola.. That would definetly finish my search for the springboks..
