Dennis,

As always, truly incredible work...! The facial detail is uncomparable to any that I've seen, and your originality of the poses are remarkable.
 
Nice! Got to have a big room for it!
 
Very nice...

i am sure the hunter has a show place all picked out to display these trophy's
 
Thanks everyone, I hope I can do a custom piece for many of you in the future. This was made for a corner of a room, It's not that big. Base is approx 36 by 4,2 to top of mount is under 10 feet.

Amaizing!!!:first:

Thanks Dennis. Again, fantastic work!
 
we can see the huge effort that went into creating this master piece dennis but would you be so kind as to tell me how many hours went into it mate?
 
Thanks Bluey,
Count in design time, Alteration for poses time, welding interior structure of all animals and tree to make it all come apart for shipping, the mounting time fixing skinning flaws and skin damage, finishing time for texturing replaced damaged skin, mouth work and all the deatils.
I'd come up with a number of 100+ man hours.
 
you must go like a cut cat , i wouldve guess alot more hours than that
man you do a spectacular job
dont be shy posting many more pictures my wife loves them
thanks again
 
Dennis, the first time I saw an orange nose on a cat I thought the taxidermist had lost his mind.
Looked at some books and went to the zoo and sure enough....

Its all in the details. You have the detail.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
