Thankyou very much for the knowledge and experiences gents, it is truly appreciated. I will be getting in touch with a taxidermist to get the skin tanned to give myself the best chance of keeping it. Barry the hunter I definitely will be displaying him as a tidy euro mount for the foreseeable future, he's too memorable and good to hide away.
I appreciate the offer Southcity, that is mighty generous. I am happy bidding my time currently. The old man did hint that he was keen to chip in but he's fast closing in on 70 and is yet to shoot (and retrieve) a good bull tahr, our attempt in June got blown out with weather so I told him to save it for a tahr trip in spring. Got to make those memories while you still can! I'll get the buck up on the wall one day.
