Beautifully done! I must admit though it does not look like a 30 incher. It looks very much in size and shape to my barely 24 in sitatunga, nor as big as the 28 inch nyala that is my avatar pic. Curious did you measure it at 30 or was the number given to you. With that much curl looks can be deceiving. Very nice either way.
 
sestoppelman, That form had to be made for it The size of his head is small kudu size. The face from Eye to nose is 9 inches and his neck size is 27" . The average kudu neck is 28". T made him out off a 300+ lb Canadian whitetail form added length to his neck and shoulders and vertically and horizontally increased his head size, for example he was shipped alone in the crate 36" by 32" by 56 " tall to fit him in it . From the brisket to the tip of his horn is 52 inches. And yes it makes it in the curl like Kudu do...You got it !
 
It must be a Monsta! Thanks!
 
Stunning! Exceptional trophy!
 
Awesome, it does look like that nyala has a bit of kudu in him.
 
Monster!! Awesome. Beautiful work.
 
Great presentation of a monster Nyala.
Love the hour glass shaped horns!!
 
Like you said the horn shape is beautiful. Great job like always. Bruce
 
WOW!!!!! Drooling over my key board. (y)(y)
 
WOW is right! Your work is very impressive. I will certainly get a quote for the work from my next trip over! :)
 
What a great Nyala, love the shape on the horns
 
Really nice once again! Looking forward to your quote for my hunt.
 
Beautiful Mount Dennis.. By the way if 50 and up is considered a "trophy" Kudu what is the magic number for Nyala??

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.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
