Looks like he runs a good hunt though! What did yours end up scoring? Mine just cleared customs last week and is on the way to the taxi. :)

He was 414, well over what I paid for. But he has a policy that if he says shoot and it's over you still get it for what you paid. There's no hey look at that one he's bigger so it's going to cost you more stuff going on there. BJ is an awesome guy, great guide and runs one heck of an outfit there. I highly recommend anyone looking check him out.

That’s awesome. Sounds like you had a blast. Mine scored 394. What taxi and mount are you going with?

One of the guys I went with is a retired taxidermist. When our animals get back here he will be the one to mount them. I haven't decided on the pose yet. We did cape them all long and I'm thinking about a pedestal mount with his head tipped forward a little bit. I really want to show off the crowns. Either that or a roar pose with his nose up mouth slightly open. Did you bring your ivories back?

Thanks! And I highly recommend going. I didn't think it was ever going to happen. But I had a buddy tell me once a long time ago. Put the deposit down, once you do, your committed! He was right! Rest his soul but I have done this a few times and he was absolutely right. He passed away young, from cancer. A lot of his wisdom still lives on to this day. But that is another post for another time.

Ivory’s got shipped back with the antlers. Going to ask the taxi to mail them to me once he gets them so they don’t get lost.
I’m thinking a pedestal similar to this.
