The Details That Go Into A Cape Buffalo Mount

Stunning, Fantastic work, what do such mount costs?
 
I can't see the beauty of a mountain lion turned into a rug. It's a personal thing...Yep that's the price LOL.....


I agree with this! I hunted Mountain Lion years ago and took a nice tom. At the time, it was a financial stretch to even do the hunt and I didn't have the money to full body mount him so elected to rug him. The taxidermist was a friend of mine and he called me twice to make sure that I wouldn't reconsider doing a full body mount before trimming the hide. They did a beautiful job on the rug mount (and I am very picky) but I kick myself to this day for not biting the bullet and doing the full body mount. That was a stupid move and I would advise anyone that would listen to spring for the full mount if you hunt a special animal like a Mtn Lion. Also, the rug is over 7 ft from nose to tip of tail so takes up a hell of a lot of wall space to do it right. Some of the cool full mounts where they are on a rock ledge can mount on a a wall and take up less space than the rug does and are way more interesting.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
