I/we have 11 shoulder mounts and a Zebra rug from our two trips to RSA. Expensive taxidermy work? Yes, but when I look upon them I relive my adventures. We will return to RSA for our 3rd safari April 2015 for more plains game. My bucket list includes a very mature Nyala that we will have a full mount done. If, I say if, we come across another good to great Kudu I will take my 2nd and have him done in a European mount. This I will have the skull copper plated for a completely different look. I have two deer, a good WT and a better than average mulie, that I had the skulls bronzed for a truly imaginative feature. I mounted these on western red cedar plaques. I have seen a great deal of europeon mounts that truly are eye grabbing. Try to use your imagination and think what the scene appeared as you took them. Enjoy! MTG
