Finally got to see my mounts

Update:
In emails with the taxidermist, regarding the Kudu and Gemsbok the horn width should be the same as the skull plate was left intact. The horns are removable, so perhaps some final adjustments can be made. As for the Warthog, please forgive my ignorance, but is it airbrushing that makes or breaks the look? I'm not a taxidermist, and have VERY limited knowledge about it. I think it looks much better, but is it just paint that has made the difference? And is that common/normal/standard?
Thanks!

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.
