Mid Asian Ibex
At 16,200+ ft one on the right at 550 yards no rest off hand after jumping of the horse hit him 3 out of 5.

15,600 feet the one on the left 350 yards rock rest...

Those that know me , Know I mount every trophy that comes thru my door. I have a finisher that is the best in the world , that does all the soft airbrushing and soft tissue work. And another man for help sewing , prep and finish sculpting. But I feel so responsible for the quality of your mount I personally do every one. Yes unlike many of the big studios ,I the owner, do the work on your trophies. I don't own a studio and hand off your dreams to the guy in the back or someone that does not have the experience I have. I broke down and mounted these Ibex the first I have done of my own mounts of something I have taken in 10 years, It was about time...Now I know what it feels like when you guys get one of my pieces home !

Beautiful work on the mounts and rockwork.

If I had to give any constructive feedback, the plywood base detracts from it a bit. Just my personal taste, but the base needs to have more of a "crafted furniture" look. Some nice raised panels would look nice. I wonder if some simple leather panels framed with oak trim would break up the plywood sides and accomplish the same.

Have to agree about the base. Even if it was painted would be better.
Absolutely great taxidermy work on some very nice animals!

"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."
