Would you mount a Female Cape Buffalo?

[AimSmall]

Some hunters collect both male and female of every species. Have seen trophy rooms with them all mounted lifsize...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Do what you want

I had a cow Euro mounted. It was an exciting hunt.

If you tip its nose out thirty degrees it displays much better.

I wouldn't, just not my cup of tea.
Here is a very unusual mount with the long curl drop mentioned. This was shot in the Zambezi valley and the mount hangs In a lodge in the Save.

Kevin, bulls that lose their testicles at a young age or are severely affected grow up so abnormally.
Look at the one in my photo, it was clearly a guy as I could see (at least half a guy)
Of course I would also hang a cow on my wall, but I would save myself a shoulder mount.
Of the many buffalo I saw, some of them at a distance of 10 meters, a buffalo cow was the only buffalo that "had balls in its pants" and attacked us.

Spanish (Catalina Island Goats) look nice like that also.

These are from the post "SOUTH AFRICA: Two Buffalo Cows And A Wildebeest Charge. Who Gnu?"

I would have seriously consider doing a shoulder mount on the one on the right. But since wall space is limited in my house, I would have done a euro mount.

You beat me to it...

I shot two. Both were great hunts, particularly the first. If I had a bigger bank account? I would have considered it. I am all about the memories that are generated. If there's some level of trophy quality others find pleasing, that's just a bonus.

The bottom line is it’s your hunt and your memories not anyone else’s. If you want to do taxidermy on a Cow then have it mounted with pride with your great story to tell!!!

Feel free to mount anything with nipples......

Personal preference. I like the flat mount as it shows offf the boss to better effect.

 

[Camdog]

Would it matter to you if the cow self-identified as a bull.

But a cow won't have bosses. Tip those for sure. Curl and drop is their only asset.

Full body or bust …. Maybe getting attacked by some lions or hyenas

Moving towards European for almost everything - cost and space.
Absolutely euro a cow.
