Can't wait for it to arrive.

Post by: Rob on May 04, 2009, 10:09:22 AM: I was not going to shoot a zebra when I went over. It was not even "kinda" on my list. But at the lodge I saw a pedestal mount and after looking at it for a few days decided I really liked it. That and after deciding not to shoot a giraffe, I had extra money in the budget.

I'm very pleased and I think this may be my favorite mount of the whole lot.

The hartman's mountian zebra have that brown face, and a bigger head which I think makes for a much different look than the typical Burchell's zebra found in the plains.

Post by: boneaddict on May 04, 2009, 11:55:18 AM: Well I have never been that impressed with Zebras. Figured I'd take a tanned hide or something, but thats probably the closest to getting excited about a Zebra mount as I ever have been. Its not a hollow compliment when I say that is awesome. Warthog??? well I'll let you debate that one. LOL

sounds like it's a good thing you decided against the giraffe.

On so many levels... so many levels...

(one of the levels that I considered a nit compared to the other "spousal" levels, was vaulting the ceilings in the game room so that my "long neck deer" would fit.)

I still want one, but I want to hunt one as a true hunt. The ones we looked over were more like pets.
