Dean, I'll take some pictures of it in a few minutes and post with some dimensions. Mr. Purtill has seen this mount in our family room while he was drooling uncontrollably over the BHE I had for sale awhile back. George can attest as well. If it is accepted as a silent auction item, I can bring it down to the event on the Friday. Stay tuned for pics. This was one of 2 Impalas that I shot. This one was taken late in the day after Jean and I had walked our butts off in the bush and I had asked out PH to drop us off at one of the waterholes where he had a blind set up. We sat there for over an hour taking movies of all manner plains game that around 5 pm decided to come to water for a drink. This one was one of about 20 or so Impalas that just showed up out of no where to drink. We were hunting bigger game during the day and all I had was my model 70 375 H&H mag. When I decided to take this one animal and shot it (at about 20 yds) - that slug knocked that impala back about 20 feet. Never seen anything like it. Couldn't resist the shot though. I'll post pics shortly. My apologies for droning on about this.
