Saw that in Dallas.

Biggest yes, but too much crammed in....

Does give you an idea of what you can do with limited space though.
 
Goes to show bigger is not always better that is for sure. To much going on for me.
 
I missed it in dallas, yeah there is a lot going on. Still.very interesting, just have never seen something like this
 
I saw it in Dallas, it is impressive in its own way but for me it's too much going on at once. It really takes away from the uniqueness of each animal as they all get blurred together. That said, as mentioned above, if limited space is a serious issue it may be the answer but.... it's really tall so that may not work either.
 
Here is the other end of the booth display, those derby eland are massive!

Man they are impressive, dream animal for sure.
 
Always wondered how all those fossils ended up crowded together in those Neolithic sites.
 
Definitely too busy for me. Love the Lord Derby. Man what I wouldn't do to go on that hunt.
 
This is what happens when a crate packing crew from RSA turns to taxidermy!
 
Fine for a show, I don´t think anybody would have one in their home.
 
BIG yes it is. It would be great in the Atrium of your local mall!
 
Looks like the God of Taxidermy over ate and vomited mounts onto a big heaping pile.:E Shrug: Some nice animals, just not all together
 
A few more pictures of this mount...

Add a Blie Wildebeest and a Bushbuck, and you'd have two slams in one mount!
 
Why did I think three animals was the most a wooden cabinet could handle?
 
I saw this in Dallas. I will say as my wife doesn't know much about the diff animals in Africa it helped as she could see a lot of plains game.

But the Irish came out in her and she had some choice words when I asked what she thinks. It's not like I wanted it right. Definitely an eye catcher.
 
Well it looks like a cluster F------ to me & poor mounts. Forrest
