.300H&H on it’s last legs?

I’m rather fond of my .300H&H but I see which way the wind blows.

Best place to have an Elephant shoulder mounted.

Hello all! New to the forum, but not African Hunting. Finally got my elephant back from a hunt in Botswana a few years ago. Where is the best place to get a shoulder mount? This will be using the real skin/cape.
