    Reallllly good job. But why wouldnt folks want real skulls on their walls? The horns and the head are a symbol of the hunt, and of the slain animal's noble strength. Why replace that with silicone and foam? As good as it looks, the knowing of it being fake will be a blotch on it. Horns and bones last literally forever, so it cant be the preservation.

    Very well done. Amazing attention to detail. What an art! One question. Is there a reason the real horns arnt used in the mount? Is it a legal issue or import issue?

      Considering how exceptional of a specimen it is in terms of size and shape, it's possible that people just want a replica to appreciate the magnificence of it. Just my guess.

    Are they tasty? Genuinely curious. I've had venison from several species, bison, wild boar, goat,and pronghorn. But never a genuine antelope. What does their flavor best compare to or is it unique to them.? Thank you.
