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!

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

X5i scope is perfect - thanks for an easy transaction! Buy with confidence.
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
