Very nice ❤
Thanks Douglas, same to you and yours.
No word just to salute for this team gud job..❤
This is fascinating
Thats so realistic i could have sworn saw it blink!
Cost?
6500
nice job....
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.
if I saw that once I entered my house I would scream in terror
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.
Weight
Sold as Display pieces to other museums, collectors, hotels, etc. without harming additional animals.
Devon wall
I have this as a pet
Beautiful deer one of my dream deer hunts for sure
what animal did you say this was?
If you think it’s incredibly now , you should have seen it when it was alive. Maybe an alien would find you incredible .
Bongo antelope
🐊
It's magnificent, beautiful, and amazing. Let's kill it and stuff it on a wall. Ok. Im in! I need one now. Awesome! Not sure where I'm going with this, hu?
Is that clay slip that the foam base is covered in before sculpting wax?
I totally agree with you.
Cheer~~~denoting an animal, especially a horse or cow, having a coat of a main color thickly interspersed with hairs of another color, typically bay, chestnut, or black mixed with white.😊
My left ear really enjoyed this
Same
You so lucky you got to go through there
Thank you for this video. Very informative. What is the price of a bontebok replica skull?
$4000
Very well run company by the looks of things and the work is quality and obviously has very high standards
Excellent videos, well explained
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.
You have some amazing people working for you
Man I wish I could make one were I live I can only do small snakes bugs fish and birds
😑
Can I buy lions claws and nails please
Can you send me the lion's claw to india
I stay in port elizabeth,it is great to see a company in pe on UA-cam,thanks very much
Port Elizabeth boys❤
Beautiful video, it was my 1st antelope that I had the pleasure of hunting
Need to lower the music, can barely hear the guy.
Good healthy philosophy. Every hunt is an experience, and builds a lifetime of skill and outlook.
have been Waiting since My May 2022 hunt, the trophies where rec'd by Spitting Image in Nov 2022. It is now Aug 2024 and I have not rec'd my trophies. I am very disappointed in the customer service provide by Splitting Image.
Tiny 10 Slam one of my dream.
Please Stop killing innocent animals, you are killing nature .........!!!!
Killer of the nature,,,,,,,, shame on you
That's awesome 👏 may God bless you too ❤❤❤❤
They look great!
When i grow up it is my dream to be a taxidermist this video gave me so much inspiration!
Not to mention the bow hunters that sit around a watering hole in a ghillie suit.
This all makes sense but people that hunt from the back of a bakkie and call themselves hunters, are a joke.
Hell i cant even afford to go hunting😅
I think that one looks like crap. Like yall couldnt decide if you were going with the shrunken head version or what.
Lets see your traditional full mount baboon?
Traditional mount is best
First Taxidermist sales pitch I’ve ever seen before.
I'm just looking at all the animals in the background. Did he kill all those African animals, or are those fake.
He’s a European they love killing. Look how he brags about murdering innocent animals.
Probably got it from hunters. They hunt on game farms so animal population is always kept stable.
@@grill9067bro... Can you shutup?
I would like a skull mount.
