Hello everyone,

I seen a hippo mount that made me smile a while back on here and had to screenshot it. Has anyone seen one like this in person or had one done?

I was able to kill a nice hippo bull last year. I almost went with the glass table top idea that is seen here. In the end I decided that I am going to build a nice wooden table and have the hippo skull resting on top of the table so people can come up and get a good look at the tusks and skull. I think it will be more viewer friendly with this approach. I can always go back and do the glass too later if I decide I want to go that direction.

@Uintaelkhunter, would love to see how yours turns out when you get it back. Bet it will be awesome.
 
I just need to add the glass top waiting for it to haev a final resting place for it.

I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….

I'd like to get some too.

My wife (a biologist, like me) had to have a melanoma removed from her arm last fall.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,
