Guys,
I received my hippo tusks from Zambia and am looking for ways to display them with class in my trophy room or office... any ideas and/or pictures?

Thanks!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Bwanamrm,

I do not know if this is class but this is what my wife came up for mine as opposed to just having them laying on a table. I have also seen them mounted on a wooden base standing up and they look nice.

Does anybody have their tusks displayed in the skull? I was hoping to be able to remove them and replace at my leisure to show people. But I have never seen a hippo skull mount.

Ed, I know MarkT (I think that is his AR name?)did his that way. He sent me a picture ... not sure I know where it is though.

It looks cool! If/when I shoot a Hippo, I will request the full skull.

Ben,

Thanks for the complement. Your Dad has taken some very impressive trophies. We were very proud of how his Hippo tusks turned out...DAN
