Zebra Taxidermy Pictures

Well, Lana looked at the 2 poses (our 1st and the one Dennis posted) and she likes the 1st one best.
She said, "the first pose is nice and sweet and happy. It makes you want to pet it. The other pose makes him look like he wants to fight you. My zebra is a sweet zebra."
So, looks like we will use the first pose.
The challenge now will be to turn this:

into this:

We were talking about how her zebra won't be as vividly black and white, but should still look good.

If I ever shoot a mountain zebra, I will have a "bookend" to hers, but with the mean old fighting pose. lol.

Yea the World is not all just black and white... There is usually a little grey between the lines.... Even for some zebras!

Neither. Not a fan of unnatural poses. Just my taste. Or, lack there of (taste that is). :)
 
This stallion will be done in the chess piece pose.

Thank you Bluey. He deserved it....gave me the most memorable hunt/shot of the entire trip! Probably of my life!

I cannot imagine going back to Africa and not hunting Zebra.
 
Wow, like the pose! Of course, looks not very natural... but is hanging around without a body at any point natural? ;)

Next trip I have to take two zebras, one for the rug and one for a mount like this.

@tarbe said he only need two zebras too.
 
Well, honestly...I did only need two. It was Kathy that needed three! ;)

Hear that folks? His wife told him to shoot an extra Zebra!!! And I was an eye witness. It really did happen that way.
 
All this zebra talk, gets my blood pumping. Some great taxidermy mounts

Ha !
My wife told me to shoot 2 as well .
Now we are home she thinks I should have shot 3 ?
She doesn't think we will have enough skin to make the furniture she wants .
Bugger bugger bugger !!!!!
I have to go back .
 
Then you need five... 3 for the furniture, 1 as rug and 1 as pedestal mount.
 
state of the art!

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
