Finally! Last Mounts from Taxidermist
« on: May 03, 2008, 02:39:00 PM »
As many of you know I went to Visser's in Africa in 2005, I just got the last to mounts from the taxidermist yesterday.  You can read about the hunt and see critter pictures at   http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=90;t=000101   in the Memorable Hunts section.
Eland
 
Kudu
 
Impala
 
Red Hartebeest  
 
My highest scoring trophy, Nyala
 
and my absolute favorite, Zebra
 
I am out of room!
 
I never thought it would have taken 3 years to get them all done but now I can start planning the next trip to somewhere!   :bigsmyl:    Joseph

Joseph,
That is awesome! Just beautiful work by your taxidermist. They look as if they could finish the "jump" through the wall...

Who did the work?

Thankyou all and to answer a few questions, Bjorn, negotiating for wall space wasn't hard because that ground rule was laid down before marriage and my wife likes to hunt as much as I do and is working on her own collection of wall hangers.  My taxidermist is Rosey Roseland in Lewistown Montana. He works out of his home and does as good of work as anyone I have seen and I have looked at a lot of heads over the years.  The Kudu, Impala, and Red Hartebeest are backed with painting canvas which my wife is going to do oil paintings on of African senery.  One will have a picture of Victoria Falls, one will be a sunset sillhoeting an elephant standing under a tree, and I can't remember at the moment what the 3rd one was going to be   :scared:   Joseph

Joseph,
Your choice of mounts for the animals was very impressive and complimentary of the animals. I especially like the Zebra also, they are all beautiful. I hope to be as fortunate.
Thanks for sharing.
