Pedestal Mounts

How does such a large head get stabilized? Is there lots of weight in the pedestal? Is it fastened to the floor?

The threaded rod which is the main attachment point for the manikin is located so that the center of gravity is farther back in the manikin. Also, the base itself had to be built just wide enough to maintain the point of balance.. I helped my taxidermist position the mount on the base before it was secured. It took a bit of tweaking and repositioning, but it worked..

BTW, My taxidermist for 20 years is Jose Hernandez of Animal Gallery. He is located in Miami, Florida. I am extremely picky about taxidermy and Jose is one of the most talented taxidermists and artists I have come across. He has over 25 years of experience with African game and I highly recommend his work to anyone who is interested in excellent taxidermy at very fair pricing.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.
