I liked this one. This is Darrell McMicken in his showroom in Cartersville, Ga.  | ||

I hate asking stupid questions, but having never been to Africa, what's that behind the lion? Looks a little like a blond Gemsbok but the horns spiral. | |||

Jack, It is an addax. | |||

Darrell has done mounts for me in the past and will be doing all our African trophies as well as my two hill stags (red deer) from Scotland. He's a very experienced taxidermist who personally hunts Africa at least once a year. Darrel has won awards for his work. Here's a secret about McMicken Taxidermy: his prices are lower while his quality is higher than other taxidermists--especially his African work! | |||

amosgreg: No website. I have been dogging Darrell to get a website but he is so busy he doesn't really feel he needs one right now. If you want to call him, the number is 770-382-6232. | |||

I'm curious..... the addax is critically endangered, probably numbering less than 500 individuals in the wild.... How did he get ahold of one to mount?? ![[Confused]](images/icons/confused.gif){kind=icon} | |||

Come on down to Texas, you can shoot all you want. The trophy fee used to be about $3500, probably higher now. They have pretty much been shot out in their native habitat. There are also arabian oryx being bred on game farms, they are almost extinct in the wild, same area as the oryx. | |||

Is that a blesbok or a bontebok next to the addax? Interesting comments on the addax. With this whole ban thing, I was able to shoot one for quite a bit less than mentioned above. Next to the first deer I shot, probably my favorite trophy.  ____________________________ If you died tomorrow, what would you have done today ... 2018 Zimbabwe - Tuskless w/ Nengasha Safaris 2011 Mozambique - Buffalo w/ Mashambanzou Safaris | |||
