That's a big one!

Have you done one with the ears back?
Thank you Ted, no I haven’t set the ears back on one but it’s very simple. The position of the ear buds doesn’t change. It’s just a matter of placing the ears at the proper angle and matching reference photos.
 
That looks awesome Gizmo, love the real look of them horns. Cant wait till I have one added.

Looking good, another happy client in the making!
 
Waterbuck are one of my favorite plains game animals. Beautiful animal and a terrific mount.
 
Breakthrough magazine issue 52 has a lovely picture of a fresh killed waterbuck eye and ear butt, with the ear laid back, relaxed in death. its a lovely reference photo-

Very handsome! On my bucket list!
 
Nice, Gizmo. How big is he? Horns on mine are Left side 32", Right side 31 3/4.

I haven’t measured him but if I get time I certainly will.
 
Nice mount also on my list to have if all goes well I will hopefully bump into a good bull on our Easter hunt.
 
Erik, you are one busy guy constantly going! I only wish I had some of your energy!
It’s very interesting to see how your taxidermy improves every time you post it! It is looking really great!

Hi Jon,
I saw your post for the .500 NE cases. Are these all brass or are they nickel plated? Hard for me to tell... sorry.
Thanks,
