The photos were taken by my taxidermist, Jerry Huffaker. I picked them up upon my return from a pronghorn hunt in far NW Texas. They are from my 2016 hunt in Zimbabwe. I am pretty pleased.

When I arrived home this crate was here having been delivered a day prior. This, still unopened, from a trip to Namibia in 2018. The taxidermy work was done in Namibia.

Ed, those came out really nice. Really like the Buff. Those two Kudu are nice as well. Is the other a waterbuck?

lndeed a waterbuck. All taken with a M70 416 Remington throwing 350mGr TSX's. My taxidermist did a great job across the board.

Huffaker does excellent work! He’s done several things for me over the years.

I passed on a number of decent bucks and came home empty. I am booked for the 2021 opener.

That's a good looking bushbuck. Your kudu on the right might have got the full shoulder at my house. He has a great shape.

Indeed. Just trying to conserve space...

Another +1 for Huffaker. He's done work for me including a kudu pedestal. Great guy too.

Hard to beat a nice zebra rug. That's a beauty.

Perfect shot placement on the Zebra. Nice taxidermy work.

Great stuff, Ed. Thanks for posting! And I'll second the motion on the perfect shot on that striped horse...

How come the Cheetah couldn't make it, Ed?

That would have been a cool mount.

Can’t import cheetah into the USA, stupid rules.
