Impala are the most mounted african game, like a whitetail here in the states
This Impala has both ear tips missing , I does get cold in Africa and they can be frost bit and loose the tip of an ear, This one lost both tips, about an inch on both sides.
Details ARE IMPORTANT. Notice the eye set, the shape the clean lines , then the EAR SET and where they are on most mounts , Most are too low and on the neck, ears attach to the skull not the neck !!! Then Rebuilt soft tissue nose not dried up and shrank. Look at mounts with a microscope of the quality . Very little taxidermy IS Created equal.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
