Overall height of Kudu shoulder mount?

[mark-hunter]

Of all of you gents, who have nice shoulder mount of a kudu, could you please let me know what is approximate over all height of 50 inch kudu shoulder mount?

I am looking to organize some place on the wall. So this info is vital.

My shoulder mount is close to t size mentioned. It is a full shoulder mount with erect head-up position. From the bottom of the mount to the top of the horns is right at 60 inches. I hope this helps. Sonny

Thanks sonny913, so my guess is that your trophy is a bit lowered down by neck positioning?

I also have a kudu mount about the same length and mine is about 63" chest to tips

This 50" kudu is 66" from horn tip to bottom most portion of the body. It is a wall pedestal as well.

A lot will also depend on how that Kudu makes his 50".

Mine is close to six and a half feet tall on 54 1/4 horns.

Both of mine are 64" and 63"

Sonny your almost right. I told the taxidermist I wanted him with his head held high because that is the way he was looking at me when I shot him.

Just as important as the hight of your mount will be position of the of the hook on the back .
I have 2.4m studs at home and was surprised how low on the wall I had to put my exspensive 4 inch nail in the wall .
You have to have room to put it on the wall with horns on if room is a problem .
Like a dick , I put mine on the wall useing a tape measure .
Then I couldnt get the bloody horns on .
Im rebuilding the house at the moment so Ive put
2.7 m walls downstairs to take my mounts .
You can see in the photo how low i had to mount it to got the horns on and off .

Cheers Dory

My 50" kudu with a wide V is an offset shoulder. Straight height up the wall from brisket to tip is 58". But it lowers it's head a tad. The mid 60's is a safer bet for what you're thinking.

Finally on the wall!

Considering limited space at home and future hunts planning, I have other questions:
What is the size in inches (lenght, width, height) for shoulder mounts of:
- waterbuck
- Cape buffalo
