I love to overthink things and would appreciate your indulgence.

Currently trying to get some sort of taxidermy game plan together for my upcoming hunt. One of my priority targets is a Niassa Wildebeest. I think they are the most handsome of the wildebeest. I tend to prefer euros of everything, and initially thought to do a rug, but not sure if that would do it justice. Is a shoulder mount the way to go or is there a better way to present more of the stripes and the white chevron?
This is a great problem to have! I wish you luck. May I ask who you are hunting Niassa with?
I’m headed there next August.
 
I wanted all that beautiful blue/black brindle hide I could fit on a wall mount. I wish I had a picture from the back of this bull as his neck really shows off the color and the horn spread.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
