I live in Dillingham, Alaska. My taxidermist (Jesse Dahlberg, Dahlberg's Taxidermy) is in Wasilla. I am in Anchorage currently for surgery (tomorrow, ugh). Yesterday I took a drive up to Jesse's place to see my 2 soon to be new home additions.

After my last trip to Africa I opted for 2 shoulder mounts: a gemsbok, of which I am utterly chuffed, and a black wildebeest, because it wound up with a great story behind it (and several people have said it's a really good one).

They are finished. Jesse will be crating them and shipping them to me as soon as I am home and the damned catheter is out. These two mounts give me something to look forward to! That's my oldest daughter in the photo with me.

Nice looking mounts. Good luck with the surgery and get well soon
 
Very nice! They’ll look great in your living room. I hope your surgery goes well!
 
Looking good. In my uneducated opinion that wildebeest does look good sized.

Good luck with the surgery.
 
In recovery.
I hate catheters. :confused:
 
Yeah, catheter is a pain in the arse ... almost. Prostrate? Hope everything comes out okay and you're feeling yourself again soon. Preferably behind a locked door. :D
 
You ever see the movie Hot Tub Time Machine? The scene where he pulls his own catheter out cracks me up!
Nice mounts. Post pics when you get them on the wall.
 
Excellent(y)
 
Mounts look good, get well soon :D Cheers:
 
Thank you kind sir.
 
Nice mounts TT, wishing you a fast recovery.
 
Thank you Phil.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
