So, we moved into a bigger house. Thought we had a plan for the taxidermy mounts.
Three small antelope wall mounts and one pedestal mount. But the floor plan is not working out so good for the Kudu pedestal. The house has high ceilings, so I am thinking about going up with the Kudu.
Any have ideas on an easy way to for me to mount the Kudu, and maybe using the all thread rod already in the mount?

(Googled and found many entries on going from a wall/shoulder to a pedestal.)

Sure, just build a habitat base for a wall mount. Sky is the limit; you could use artificial rock, earth, wood, or any combination there of.
 
Good suggestion Erik.

Otherwise it's shoulder shot with a big lag bolt drilled through and through. :D

gizmo,
So are you saying I mount a large shelf on the wall, and then drill a hole in it for the all thread rod from the mount?
Thanks

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
