yds Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Well its not the quality of some of the work i've seen but its not to bad (i think) looks better from accross the room. The details are a little poor as is its expression. Guess we are spoilt by some of the boys we have in the uk. It was shot in Bugaria and mounted there by their man. It looks good enough (just) to remind me of a good hunt abroad in the company of friends shooting stuff not available over here. And it fell to my double rifle.

yds Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I had a wolf come past me 2 years ago in bulgaria and they had said on the first drive nothing but pigs, didn't see another when we could shoot them. I'm organising a wolf hunt for a lad for next year as we speak. I went back this last year and these 2 were shot 2 weeks before we arrived.

gixer1 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Christ on a bike John - you normally make a lot of sense but that is bloody awful! :blink: were you joking when you said it was not too bad? :blink: it's a bit "toofy joe" looking...

yds Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I know, thats what I thought when i unwrapped it. But the photos do not do it any favours (and it needs some) but it looks better accross the room and I will put it up above the stairs so as you cannot scrutanise it. The trouble is they pose all their mounts like this abroad with a snarl, I'd have prefered it just looking as they are difficult to mount well in that pose. Ah well a lesson learned, don't have your taxidermy done in Bulgaria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yds Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 The teeth are original i think. The work was cheap (thankfully) Bulgaria has a poor exchange rate. Shipping it here was another story. I think I will put it up at the front of the house to scare solar pannel sales men. I will try and take a side on photo thats not as bad. I just need a facing wall to hang it on now which is at the far end of the room or even street. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
