I dont have enough time to wait for the video but I was there in march 2009 WOW is all I can say and if you tell the caretaker your a hunter who hunts Africa he will take you trough the back and archives and there its Double WOW WOW. I saw over 50 sets of mountain nyala skulls there every antelope species you can almost imagine except species from South Africa as he thought that enough documentation was done on them. He had quite a life. Frederik Cocquyt I always try to use enough gun but then sometimes a brainshot works just as good. | |||

That is just incredible. The man was a legend. The taxidermy is also excellent -- given the age. | |||

quite a museum and it is amazing how this was done in the early 1900s. Liveing in Texas where there is a saying that is very true here. "There are only two kinds of land in Texas, land that has wild boar, land that WILL have wild boar!" I had to laugh when the guy stated that he feared the wild boar would go extinct if a season weren't put in place. In Texas you can shoot them 40 per day, and can't even keep up with the birth rate. Here people pay guys to trap, and/or shoot them off thier land because they do so much crop damage. I love hunting them with an iron sighted big bore double rifle! On one of our DRSS boar hunts 12 guys killed 31 wild hogs in two days all with double rifles! The picture below shows the first day's bag. ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||
