Wow! He’s not nearly as black as mine! You can see his features much better! Nice!

Thank you, by far my favorite animal of yours. He’s just beautiful
 
Great work Erik!
 
Good job Gizmo. Now get back to work. This eating and sleep8ng stuff has to stop man! Your slowing up progress.:ROFLMAO:
 
Great work Erik!
 
I have always thought that the "beest" (Black, Blue & Hartebeest) were the most often & easily jacked up looking of the taxidermy world. Something about the eyes (bug-eyed/cross-eyed)..... if they are not done perfectly, it destroys the entire mount/look. You have nailed it bud. Looks awesome!
 
He looks like a gnarly old dude. Nice work!
 
Just wanted to share part of a conversation I had with Erik aka @gizmo last night about some of the finer details going into my waterbuck mount/pedestal. "You have a lot of money and dreams tied up in this. Its my duty as the artist to live up to that". This is the kind of man you deal with with Erik. Thank you sir.
 
Yeah bud looks great! JB is gonna be happy, as we can see he already is! (y)

Charlie the man has been great to deal with. His passion and desire to do the best work possible shine thru with each conversation I ve had with him. And if my trophies look as good in person as they do in pictures I ll be one happy man.It will confirm I chose the right man for the job. I look forward to my waterbuck/buffalo pedestal mounts. I know they are going to be special. But I ll let Gizmo tell everyone about that at the right time!

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...
Behind the scenes of taking that perfect picture.....

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.
