I did 8 safaris and only on the last one did I take a trophy. It was for Elephant and I brought the tusks back. Prior to that I gave all my trophies I shot to the PH/Outfitter to do with as he desired. The Ph actually mounted my Oribi and Waterbuck and another PH friend had a pedastal mount made of my Sable. I have 2 Zebra rugs that were actually gifts from friends there. I just don't particular have any use for trophies. Also I live in a modern townhouse and the ceilings are a little less than 8ft. Also my late wife has almost everywall covered with nice (and valuable) oil paintings we had collected over the years. I have my memories and many photos to show. They are all I need. I plowed the Taxidermy and shipping fees into more animals and longer safaris. Worked for me.
