Jerry HuffakerHuge Waterbuck and Bushbuck taken with Bahati safaris
I have no affiliation with Bahati, but these skins and horns were very well taken care of and we recieved them back in the USA in a reasonable amount of time. I would not hesitate to book a hunt with them.

John B TaxidermyBeautiful mounts, Jerry ... having great capes goes a long way in the process.

I cannot believe the amount of hair still left in the ears of that Waterbuck ... absolutely beautiful!

I dont often complement taxidermy, but this is a good job. Who was the hunter as it could be a number of guys!
Thanks for the complement. Keep it up and you may just get an invite!

I like the bushbuck. A lot. Good expression.

Jerry HuffakerJohan,
The hunter's initials are J E, he hunted with his Father, who shot some plains game also, and his mother enjoyed the trip as an observer. They took several other species including a very large Nyala, Suni, Red Duiker, Sable that I will post when we get them finished. They had many good things to say about your operation.

There are lots of Buffalo. The PH will take you up close, you decide what you like!

GraftonThat waterbuck could not decide if he wanted to be a waterbuck, a lechwe, or a fringed eared oryx!

Great job on both mounts Jerry.
