This guy was shot is South Africa by a buddy of mine. I did the taxidermy work.

He looks mean even when dead. Nice work.

How thick and tough is their skin? To survive that African life they gotta be some tough critters.

The skin isn't really much thicker than a Whitetail. Nothing like a Giraffe, but very tough animals.

That's surprising to me but I don't know much about animal skin. I've skinned whitetail, hogs, elk, pronghorn and a bear and all sorts of small game.

Looks like a great mount..

Those are some fierce animals. I'ld like to hunt them someday but only with a gun. To big of a chicken to go after them with the bow!
