Botswana Taxidermy on the Wall

[CamoManJ]

My animals from my Aug/Sep 2024 Safari:

The Kudu at my Parent’s house, they have the perfect place for it, New Braunfels, Texas.

The Eland, Red Hartebeest & Blue Wildebeest at my work Condo in Midland, Tx.

Pictured below is a comparison from my first female cull blue wildebeest I shot in south Texas back in the early 2000’s & the bigger bull I shot in Botswana.

Beautiful kudu, and the bigger BWB caught my attention too.

Looks amazing! What did you use to attach to the wall?

Outstanding!! I’ve really grown to like euro mounts more and more.

 

[Mekaniks]

Excellent

Thank you Gentlemen.

The mounts had a simple loop bracket & I used a 3” screw into studs. On the Kudu, a masonry bit & anchor set from Lowe’s.

I really like that Kudu done in the euro style. Looks awesome.

Those look great, nice euros. I'm still waiting for my Botswana / NKWE trophies from May 2024. They got hung up in a shipment snafu from Bots into RSA. The entire truck of trophies got impounded because one person's crate in the truck had CITES animals without the proper paperwork so everyone's crates in the truck got impounded. Finally got cleared in March but now waiting for export permits from RSA before they can ship to US, RSA supposedly has a big backlog on permits or is just being lazy and dragging their feet.

Glad you got yours so quickly!

Thanks.
Sorry to hear about your hold up.
I’m sure Jaco & NKWE did everything they could, no one can fix lazy and stupid. I hope you get your stuff soon, looking forward to the report.

Yeah, it wasn’t a Jaco / NKWE issue, not sure if it was an issue caused by Debbie at Mochaba but it has put a big delay on everything. My hunting partner on that trip got his horns quite a while ago but they came out of Botswana on a different truck
