Well, I got home the other day to find a wooden crate in my driveway. I knew what it was - my mounts from my South Africa trip - summer 2009. I tore into that crate like a 5 year old on Christmas morning. I inspected them and found that they had done a good job on all my animals - except one. The Impala looks like a second grader mounted it. You can't see the flaws in the pic but it does look bad. I will probably have to have it redone by a taxidermist here. Oh yeah, I learned my lesson too. I will not be having any more taxidermy work done in South Africa. Here's the pics of my "spruced up' living room after the addition of the new mounts:
First is the whole group:
Next is the Kudu and 2 warthog boars:
Next is the Impala and warthog sow:
And last, but not least, is the Guinnea Fowl:
I've already made reservations to go back again next summer and can't wait to get over there and add to the collection.
I used my Sarrels Blueridge longbow (50#@29.5)to take the Kudu,Impala,Guinnea Fowl, and one of the Warthog boars. I used my Sarrels Bobcatt TD recurve to take the second Warthog Boar. I used my Arvin Weaver selfbow (45#@28") to take the Warthog Sow.
See y'all later,
Bisch
