I got my Waterbuck from SA mount home. It is big. It is 5' and I have 8' ceilings. It was a SCI Siler #89 and measured 76.75". I like how it looks on my wall.
That's beautiful! My friend shot one a bit smaller on our last hunt, back in 2002. I remember they were pretty smelly, ha. I was told they had that greasy feel to their hair from the gland they have, it helps ward off bugs and such. It felt to me like I a hippie girl I "knew once" back in '71 who also had "greasy hair and smelled about as strong"! ha I'm glad you had a great trip and your taxidermist did a great job!
