Jerry, another world class piece of taxidermy!! What a great nyala. Makes me reconsider mounting my full tanned nyala life size vs a half mount????? Thanks for sharing.

beautiful work, Jerry. 2 years ago i hunted in Moz with Bahati on a donated croc, red duiker, Nyala hunt. we were struggling to find a good nyala and Johan( the owner/outfitter) said shoot a sable instead if you want. since i already had shot a nyala and really wanted a sable but couldn't afford it, this was music to my ears( got a nice 40" bull). this mount ALMOST makes me wish i had kept at it. the facial detail is outstanding!

"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."

Superb work Jerry. Sure glad John Sharp and I failed to even see a hair on our nyala effort saved me some lifesized dollars but I sure miss looking at him.

Thanks for sharing as usual.

Very nice Jerry!


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

Clean mount, Jerry.

I know those guys can test your finishing skills. You nailed this one.

Very nice!

The little detail that really impresses me is the color of the inside of the ears. They are exactly correct.

I am hoping to shoot an Nyala this year with the Rudman's and if I do it will be done very similar to that mount. Outstanding. What a trophy and way to show it off.
