Here are some of the trophies my wife and I took on our 2023 safari in South Africa. She must have had fun as we are rebooked with Tsala in 2027 in Mozambique

No sir. I used Chris at Wings and Things in Ham Lake MN. Chris has done whitetail's for me in the past and I was always pleased with his work. Chris is the one hanging the Kudu for me. He delivered and help me hang everything, great guy.
Are you hunting with Tsala in SA or Moz? Either way best of luck.

The space in the middle is reserved for the buffalo I shot this year
Planning on a shoulder mount and they take up a lot of wall space.

Nice, congrats !
those are real beauties . Using the buff as the centerpiece will be a "showstopper" . Do you have another pic of the kudu in position on transom? I am in the early stages of planning a trophy room and do like your approach. Also what is your opinion on european style skull mounts ? For big buff or kudu bulls nothing compares to the chest or shoulder mount . Same for sable. That said I also like the spare, stripped down, esthetic of the skull mount. Oryx done this way can be impressive.
As an aside , If you have a shot on an good impala ram it's definitely worth considering. The thick horned, muscular, older rams present surprisingly well . Any thoughts or suggestions on mistakes to avoid or trophy room design would be most welcome.
Good luck with your project and the future hunts

I like Euro mounts! I have them done for most of my whitetails. I also have a Gemsbok euro. I think it looks cool. If fortunate I will probably have my future buffalo done Euro.
I imagine that the gembok euro mount would make a strong visual statement. The long tapering horns must look great when hung on a lighter colored wall. Do you have your trophies all in a single area (trophy room) or mixed into multiple rooms. I will be converting/renovating a barn and plan for the great room to be the focal point but still up in the air on design and layout. Good luck on your nxt buffalo. Bill

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
