What a terrific old shaggy faced blue bull eland! Not to say that the others aren't fine as well, but I do love the looks of that eland.

Congrats!

Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer.

Very nice trophies. The brook trout: with a fly rod or otherwise?

Nice buff and eland! Did you get the eland up at Wolfgang's place outside of Otavi?

The Eland & Buff' will make splendid additions to his trophies! In his foyer is a magnificent Kudu, in his office is an impressive Gemsbok. the trophy room has Sheep, Caribou, Elk, Zebra and more. Basically a hunters dream room.
Bob I salute you on your dream hunts!
May you have many more!!!

WTG Bob!!!

Glad to hear you are back safe and sound! Those are some great looking animals. Smiler That buff has a great boss, and I recognize the "insulberg" behind it...Don_G got a great Nyassa WB there! The eland is really great too!

Looking forward to some stories and more photos. Give me a call when your life slows down a little (if that ever happens!).

Cheers,
Canuck

ps: for the rest...here is a great pic of Bob with an 8.5lb brook trout earlier this year....
