I have a Gemsbok shoulder mount with the head turned in a similar manner. Looks very good in my opinion.

What is the size of your mount from top to bottom and how long were the horns? Just interesting to find out were I can put mine when I get it home in the spring.

Christer,

54" from the tip of the Horn to bottom of the mount. He was 36" long. I have had my Taxidermist break the mold and tilt some of my mounts down about 2". Because the base of some of my mounts are 10-12' of the ground. I am not sure if he did the Gemsbuck that way, but it looks like it the tipw of the horns are over 14' up. They make beutiful mounts, my wife wants two more for the entryway into our home. Hope you get your mounts soon you will really enjoy them. I work at home and can see over 20 African mounts every day from my desk. I relive the hunts every day.
