Hanging African Trophies

Tyler and Lissy were kind enough to come over after work and help us put up our African tropies and souvenirs. I promised I would post some pictures of them hanging up.

Now we've just got to figure out where to put all of the other stuff we took down.

African Trophys

Black Wildebeest tail made into African King Fly Swatter.




African Porcupine Quills.

















We finally got our trophys from our African Safari. We are really happy with the way they all turned out. John and Cathy Peacock of Taxidermy Africa did a great job of taxidermy and with the shipping. Thanks John and Cathy.
This is a Blesbok. It's an African antelope that weighs about 200 pounds.
















This is the Black Wildebeest. It scored high enough for the Safari Club International record book. He is a dandy.
















This is a male and female Springbok. I think the plaque in the shape of Africa is way cool.
















This is the Zebra. It's a lot bigger than it looks. Tyler is going to help me mount this and the other trophies in a couple of days. I'll post pictures when we get it done.
















This is the female Springbok hide. These are beautiful little animals (and they taste good).


I'm going again next year (March, 2009) with the Leavitt brothers from Kamas. I can hardly wait to get back there.

Sportsmans Expo

I had my friend Dwaine Starr come out to Utah to set up his booth for the Sportsmans Expo. Dwaine is a Professional Hunter for Richard Holmes Safaris in South Africa and a general all-around "International Man of Mystery

Dwaine works for the same place Bobbie and I went last March on Safari. He allowed me to tag along and hang out with him at the booth for 4 days. I had a great time and I thought he did too until he sent me this picture. I know it's hard to tell us apart, but just take a guess which one I am.
