Yeah, the walls are getting a bit covered over. My capes for the frican critters should be back shortly, so I have to decide on my priorities of what to mount first of the 9. I'm leaning to the gemsbok, kudu and nyala, then will likely have the blue & black wildebeests done. I might a couple of the smaller ones (bushbuck,springbok, blesbok, impala) as pedestal mounts to conserve wall space. Right now, I just have all the skulls/horns scattered about.

I got shut out of the draw here in AZ for any of the fall hunts by going 0-5 species. So I have to hope some Texan adopts me and invites me to go there to kill a buck or something.

Are the tahr hides still in good shape in the spring, i.e. don't they shed like goats?

And how is the new bambino doing?

Not sure if you saw the pic of my bear mount that I recently got back, but here it is in all its glory. My taxidermist did an awesome job on the bear and the landscaping. I built the wooden base to match the other woodwork in the trophy room.
