My Taxidermist in Africa has worked at Woodburys years ago . Dougs work is absolutely the best I've ever seen , his studio is amazing . He also just opened a studio in Nevada ( since it's such a pain and so expensive to export mounted trophies from Africa now , it's easier to send the horns and capes / do em stateside) and has plans to open another studio in Texas . I had the pleasure last year of taking my Taxidermist from Africa hunting in west Texas
to shoot his first animal in the United States , it was very cool .
The skull mount on the floor is a freaky mangled similar horned oryx , normally the horns go straight up and slightly back . This one wraps almost forward . I like weird non typical stuff like that because they are so unique . I need to mount this one up high or out of the way because the horns come so far forward it can poke someone's eye out lol .
Now that I have them hanging I can really see how I want to mount future trophies and even be more selective when hunting if a certain animal has a better side and I need a "left turn " or "right turn"

Seems like the better option is to bring the horns & capes stateside to mount rather than import an entire mount. Thanks for the info.
