Dad's Impala
« on: April 28, 2009, 08:22:00 AM »
After 20 months of waiting, the taxidermy for my dad and I is finally getting wrapped up from our trip to Namibia in 9/07.  (the delays were around shipping them into the country, not our taxidermist, he will have done over a dozen mounts including 2 full body mounts in about 6 weeks.

Taxidermist is in Abilene Texas, same town my Parents live in so Dad is getting his first.

If anyone is interested, the taxidermist's name is Jerry Huffaker (http://www.huffakertaxidermy.com)

I think Impala are one of the prettiest antelopes out there...  Can't wait to get mine - I had it done as a wall pedestal.

Dad shot that Pronghorn back in the mid 90's.  While he is really really tall, he scores poorly because the prongs are very short and it is a little thin.  Makes for a pretty cool mount though.
