Apparently copper springbucks are getting really high priced. I had wanted to do a springbuck slam and mount them all together on a kind of tree branch pedestal type mount. But now I am wondering.
I have a common and a really great black and no real concern about getting a white one. and shoulder mounts look great to me for the black and white and the commons are cheap enough that no problem there either... But I am 1; Reconsidering if I even want the copper if the price is to high. 2; if I do take one, should I do more than a shoulder mount? I have never actually even seen one in the flesh but their beauty goes farther than a shoulder mount does justice to.
So that leads to a question; If I spend the money for the animal, I have to wonder if I should do a mount that shows more of the animal than just a shoulder mount... And then how to work it into the complete display?
Would love to get some ideas and input.
