That's a big one!

Have you done one with the ears back?
Thank you Ted, no I haven’t set the ears back on one but it’s very simple. The position of the ear buds doesn’t change. It’s just a matter of placing the ears at the proper angle and matching reference photos.
 
That looks awesome Gizmo, love the real look of them horns. Cant wait till I have one added.

Looking good, another happy client in the making!
 
Waterbuck are one of my favorite plains game animals. Beautiful animal and a terrific mount.
 
Breakthrough magazine issue 52 has a lovely picture of a fresh killed waterbuck eye and ear butt, with the ear laid back, relaxed in death. its a lovely reference photo-

Hey buddy I'm doing form modifications on ya'lls Aoudad right now.
 
Very handsome! On my bucket list!
 
Nice, Gizmo. How big is he? Horns on mine are Left side 32", Right side 31 3/4.

I haven’t measured him but if I get time I certainly will.
 
Nice mount also on my list to have if all goes well I will hopefully bump into a good bull on our Easter hunt.
 
Erik, you are one busy guy constantly going! I only wish I had some of your energy!
It’s very interesting to see how your taxidermy improves every time you post it! It is looking really great!

Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
