Amazing
Well done
 
Great trophies!
Looking fwd to the report!
 
WOW, congrats!
 
Bongo on day 2! Wow. Love the ivory tips on mature bongos. Bongo and sitatunga in 7 days...that's just fantastic. Congrats and I look forward to the rest of the story.
 
Nice you look like a very happy hunter. Very nice animals. Looking forward to hearing the details of the hunt.
 
That went well !!!
 
Who is the outfitter/PH? I would be thrilled with the bongo only much less the sitatunga a few days later.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark

Hello, I have giraffe leg bones similarly carved as well as elephant tusks which came out of the Congo in the mid-sixties
