After my conversartion with him last night, here was what he e-mail'd to me:
Imperial Taxidermy in Caldwell, ID
Mitch Sanchotena
208-585-9603
http://www.imperialtaxidermy.com/index.html

Here is what he had to say:
Whoever answers, tell them I sent you.  They all know me..  4  working full time.  Several awards including national.  Maybe a little more expensive than some, but not as expensive as others.  Really good work  and easy to work with.  Good turnaround time.  If I can help you with something, don't hesitate to ask.  As much as I am over there, I could probably even do some monitoring. 

Gallery 5 photos, the pedestal zebra at the top left is his.
Gallery 6, the group shot at the top is a combination of his and the guy he went with. 

Kind of surprised that there was not a couple of photo's of the record book Steenbok's they each harvested.

All these animals came form Namibia.

Feel free to PM me and I will drop you my friend's name for when you call.

I think between the 2 of them they harvested something like 30-35 animals.
Zebra, Kudu, Blesbok, Gemsbok, Steenbok, Impala, Springbuck, Black and Blue Wildebeast.
Probably missing a couple.
He still tells stories - "Hey, how much does that one cost?"............"we have too many of those, $100."   BANG!!

I know he has a lot of money wrapped up in hides and mounts from this trip.   :chuckle:
