Mount back from the taxidermist!
« on: June 10, 2010, 11:32:00 AM »
I've just got back from the local stuffers! He calledme this morning to let me know that my Black Wildebeest (the one in my avatar) was finished!

 

 

 

 

And a not-very-flattering shot for scale....

How cool is this? Way! Man!

What a view! That wildebeest looks like it found a mate in your last photo. Is a license required to keep one live in your home?...lol

God bless,Mudd

You know, with those dark brown eyes and hairy chin, she sure looks like a girl I dated back in the 1970s.  Crazy days, those 70s!!
Great mount, Rob.

I'm not sure which one is better looking, you or the critter....lol. Really that is a great mount and something to admire for a long time!
