Title: First African (Exotic) mount , Oryx or Gemsbok (Charlies Taxidermy)
Post by: bucklucky on February 27, 2009, 05:02:27 PM: Well here is the finished product of a young Oryx Bull. I had to make a form for this certain mount since they dont offer one that would fit ;) . Anyway, this is the first African (Exotic because it was killed in the US) mount I have had the opportunity to do. It was alot of work to make a form for this bull. I started with a Siberian Ibex form and went from there! Anyway here is the finished product, now I want to do more African stuff!!

Welcome to the world of African/exotics. LOL I've mounted dozens of them and I think that maybe 3 or 4 actually fit the mould perfectly. Just not the variety of sizes available like deer and elk.

Again, that turned out real nice.

I dont think I really even get that many non exotics that I dont have to alter the forms on , just not build a form to fit ;) They need to make yearling bull forms :chuckle:
