Hunt anything

Absolutely wonderful!! Is that a horned female nyala or a bull with a hormone problem?
My understanding is that this is a rare occurrence of a male Nyala with underdeveloped testicles, thus a lack of testosterone. This causes a lack of complete development to the appearance of a normal, mature bull.Absolutely wonderful!! Is that a horned female nyala or a bull with a hormone problem?
@Daisy I did harvest everything seen except the crocodile which my wife shot. She collected the old lizard in the Luangwa Valley many years ago. I opted to take a smaller croc to make boots from.Did you personally harvest all of these animals?
That is awesome. What an achievement.@Daisy I did harvest everything seen except the crocodile which my wife shot. She collected the old lizard in the Luangwa Valley many years ago. I opted to take a smaller croc to make boots from.
I took that bull in 2016 and knew I wanted to mount him lifesize. It just took 8 years to finally get everything together where he could be displayed properly. They are truly one of the most spectacular African species and I am honored to have hunted him.The full LDE mount is amazing
Room is looking great! Thank you for sharing!There have been multiple taxidermists over the years. The oldest mount is the reddish blonde Catalina goat and that goes back to 1979. There are about six mounts done in South Africa and certainly did not meet my level of expectations when they arrived. For the newer mounts (last few years) I have used a couple of different taxidermists in the San Anronio area. Like anything else, technology has improved and better forms are available but it still takes a masterful artist to create a lifelike mount.
