Nice Kudu. That is the animal that made my first African adventure complete.

Kinda reminds me of that old song: "I want a Tragelaphus for Christmas!"
Nice one! Very few shoulder mounts are more impressive than a greater kudu, but even more important is the way they take you back to Africa.

Very nice.
My very nice kudu (58") was planned as a Euro- mount,.. until my taxidermist stateside told me the skull had been "over-boiled" in Africa and the skull was now soft. Of course, by then I had no cape for any other kind of mount. A call to my PH assured me the skull had not been "over-boiled."
Well, ok; We had to come up with something else imaginative for those great spirals.

Very nice is right! I never get tired of looking at those beautiful kudu.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Very nice! I couldn't think of a nicer gift! My crate of skulls, horns, the and hides should be sitting at the tannery as I type this. My taxidermist should be retrieving the horns and skulls soon.

Nice Kudu and great present. Maybe I should take to the missus about paying my taxidermy bill, but do I really want her to know what it costs?
