As the title says, show me your mounts. Trying to decide on how to get mine done.

Thank you
 
One of my favorite animals to hunt.

I also really enjoy hunting them. As well as Liechtenstein hartebeest, which we don't have mounted yet.

Faded and dirty
 
Wall pedestal in the way to go. Shows off lots of shoulder. Have your taxi modify the form to give it almost a 180 turn such as the gemsbok poses out there so you can see more of the side horn profile AND the smooth wrinkles along the neck junction. The best wall ped form is probably from Jim Aldred Taxidermy Supply. They are in your neighborhood basically. It's large, but your cape should work.
 
Bump, anyone else have any pics of their Red HB taxidermy?
 
Mount the thing already :LOL: . There's nothng magical out there. Left, right, straight or wall pedestal.
The Hauser forms have a slight offset.

Glad you put in a euro mount-hartebeest one of the more interesting skulls to display.
That said I really like the wall pedestal shoulder forms. Ohio taxidermy supply has a form I really like as well, shows the leg as some of the above pictures have prominently displayed.
Now if I could just find a cool tsessebe form. . Might have to alter one to make me happy. You could have your taxidermist got hat route as well-alter an existing form to match your own ideas
 
One of my favorites. Love the long faced antelope

I actually prefer the Hartebeest family as Euros. They are very unique in that way.

Lichtenstein (Moz) and Red (Nam) Hartebeests.

Here's a photo of Tony receiving that Shaw & Hunter award at the 1970 annual EAPHA Dinner Dance. Tony Dyer, then EAPHA President and Princess (Sunny) von Auersperg presented it. I also attended the event.

Good Afternoon,
How firm are you on your Dakota 416? I am highly interested but looking at a few different guns currently.

Best,
BJ
