would an eland cow make a decent mount? would it save wall Save versus a male? I'm running out of wall space. I am to Aaron but if Wade is as kind as to post a picture of his pedistal mount I think it may change your mind and you will want a bull. Ive never seen a cow mounted but I wouldnt see why not. Im going to chase his big eland and a buffalo very soon and will find room for him to go on the wall even if I have to re-do the whole mancave. Aaron, Here's a pic of my bull mounted on a mesquite floor pedestal....  Hey Eland - where did you acquire the mesquite floor pedestal from? I'm looking at pedestals now for my springbok slam I shot over in South Africa & I really like the look of yours.

I agree, that pedestal is awesome.
And yes Aaron that client is getting her cow mounted. Should be a nice mount.

The base was custom-built by a gentleman in Kerrville.
