Had this little guy in the shower with me this fall in NM View attachment 582026

We killed one of these in the shower in New Mexico just two weeks ago. I’d hate to get one of them in my drawers! Lol!

You sure won't be dancing to La Cucaracha.

Well, I FINALLY received my crate today after waiting an incredibly long time. I’m lucky enough to live within 2 hours of JFK and was able to go pick up my crate. Everything was in pretty good condition so I’m happy for that. Capes seem to be well dried and skulls are very clean and dry.

Capes off to the taxidermist tomorrow.

That’s always an exciting time. They do look great. Make sure to update when you get your mounts back and in place.

Congratulations on getting your trophies. I sent you a PM good sir. Please check when you can.

Great! I’m at the ATL airport now, waiting for my long flight to begin. Headed back to Zim for Elephant Bull and Buffalo. Hopefully D&Y will deliver again!

Good luck. I’m trying to push my hunt up with CMS to a year earlier. I really want to go back.

This is the .375 lodged in the back of this buffs skull. This was from another hunter a few weeks before my hunt. This thing took all the energy from a .375 to the skull, shook it off and ran away.

That's a pretty cool find. I'd almost keep him as a Euro for that reason

 

[revturbo9967]

I thought about it but I wanna show how old he is with the cape on .

Look around, there’s several taxidermists that can make you a replica skull and you can add the bullet to it.
