Long story short. It was in the freezer for years! My taxidermist had ongoing health issues and finally finished it. Surprisingly, the ears were still good and I’m happy with the results. Picked it up from Reno this morning and got it into my office…

Nice glad it was ok

The rest of the room nice to.
 
I'm in Reno now at the the Brazilian steak house, can I swing by and pet it?
Just kidding ya... it looks great and you don't need my filthy fingers on your Giraffe.
 
Looks great and nice collection.
 
Beautiful mount! Fills that corner in nicely!
 
Beautiful giraffe and trophy room
 
How do you get any work done in that office? I would spend all of my time reliving hunts and staring at my trophies! Well done.
I do love it… Some of my oldest buddies come by for a visit and have a beer or glass of wine, but it’s standing room only. I had to remove all the furniture! I have trophies stored everywhere… And I’ve got 12 animals coming from Bullseye. And 10 from NZ! Including 3 Huge Stag. I’ll probably also do a Hippo Reproduction shoulder mount. The skull is being shipped too.

So now I’m in negotiations on a 1 Acre place, with a house already on it, in Reno to build this:

Lighting in this office is terrible too…
Fantastic room. I live in Minden. We'll have to get together and share a few lies and hunting yarns one of these days.

Hell of a nice place to sit and reflect!
 
Looks great !
 
Giraffe is great. Always amazes me how big the noggin is on a giraffe. I have a couple of skulls on my porch and they’re huge.
 
I love Elk hunting!

Now I have 3 Stag to find spots for!

It’s an illness…
They are a very majestic challenge like nothing else I've ever hunted before or since.

I'm headed to Scotland in Sept. to chase after a few of their cousins.
