Cape Buffalo

[Edventure]

I've got a nice Cape Buffalo head that I've been meaning to get mounted for a while. Does anyone have any recommendations in terms of a really good taxidermist?

Cheers

Colin Dunton, probably the best taxidermist in the UK, ex Rowland Wards and a very decent straight guy to deal with. Any taxidermist with a Cape Buff to mount will need to make sure it is tanned and oiled well, otherwise the skin will move.

+1 for Colin, I don't use anyone else in this country.

Paul Taylor at Dorchester..

Your not far away so definately worth a phone call and a ride down to see his work.

Saw a cape buff mount done by Paul and it was awesome.

Hi

Bill Matthews has done some local fauna heads for friends and mounted skulls for me - he is ex-Nico Van Rooyen? (South Africa) and worked on african animals for many years. I had my plains game done at NVR some years ago.

I would recommend him but he can be busy.
