Amidst the taxidermy photos of these beauties. My wife (not a dead animal on the wall fan) requested I have these done up as this is the new fashion for ladies decorating up formal living room and dining rooms. (ala Ralph Lauren)

They are impala European mounts with their skulls padded in impala leather. They were not particularly expensive to have done up in Zimbabwe, perhaps $100 each.

I thought some of you might find this presentation a good way to get some of your trophies out of the "man cave" and into areas of the home designed and managed by "the boss". :)

The look great rookhawk!
 
Looks nice. I did some white tail by wrapping a chamois over the skull caps to size and nailing the chamois in with copper tacks to the mesquite wood plaques. They're somewhere in the storage unit now.
 
Looks good! Keeps the peace, that's good too. :D
 
Cool, thanks for sharing!
 
Nice @rookhawk…..I like the idea.

You have the wrong person. I have no idea what you are talking about..

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...
Behind the scenes of taking that perfect picture.....

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.
