I love the pedestals too. If I get a trophy Elk or Moose, that will be how I have them done. more versatility regarding where you can put them, and they look more regal. I had my kudu done the same way. I have an Ostrich pelt waiting for some more money to be available, and I will do it as a pedestal too.
I think the zebra looks like chess piece.
I had no desire to hunt one when I left for Namibia, but it did not take long for me to change my mine and add it to the list. this is a Hartman Mountian Zebra, not a Burchell Plains zebra. they travel in smaller packs up in the high mountians, and are about 150% the size of the Burchells. the mount on the pedistal stands a good 6.5 feet tall.
Originally I wanted a Giraffe, but when I go there, the hunt was too easy so I took that off my list, and added a Springbok, Zebra and hartebeest instead. That was a good call on my part.
