It doesn't diminish his lifetime of hunting at all.

The Longhorn?

My guess is the blue duiker is the one purchased. How else can you get one ?

The Longhorn?

Well I should have been more specific. I meant Hunting Trophy. I think he grew that one.

I've heard they can be hunted........ but I feel your pain. My blue duiker is the only animal I have ever shot and not recovered.

Tiger?

So as to not derail the thread it is the tiger skin on the floor.

He'll tell us all about the 47 Taliban he's killed with his K-Bar...as if that gives him the right to come here and trash a man he's never met just because he wants to purchase some taxidermy.

Sorry, I think that's already been accomplished, before we came along!!

I didn't know that! Was making fun of myself and not you.

Looks like someone shaved his head doesn't he?

Description says it's from the Wildlife Gallery.

 

[BRICKBURN]

Probably the owners kid was the culprit.

@Red Leg recently used a fitting description of this kind of cat taxidermy. "Hide hung on a sausage"
That about sums it up

 

[Red Leg]

I have a solution. I’m just a poor retired Airborne Infantry Soldier. I’ve saved all my life but will never be able to afford to hunt a Lion. If Mohammed from Jordan will book a Lion Hunt in my name and pay my travel expenses I will Kill a Lion for Mohammed from Jordan. Now how is that for compromise?

Fred, a little advice from a fellow combat arms veteran. Back off the chest thumping. Believe it or not their are other people here who have also done some remarkable things in interesting places, and are not that impressed with someone who feels compelled to wave a set of airborne wings or crossed rifles. The gentleman respectfully asked a logical question of the members of the forum. The fact that most of the responses were helpful and informative speaks to the wisdom of his choice of audience, and the responses speak to the quality of most of the members here. You excepted.

The duiker or whatever looks like a road kill starting to bloat.
