 At 13 1/5 inches this is likely a new # 1. This GFH was taken in early March this year in Odo Bulu. A concession run by Ethiopian Rift Valley Safaris in the Bale Mts of Ethiopia. Jason Roussos was the PH and it was shot by Malcolm King (England). For taxidermy purposes they took some body measurements. From the tip of the nose to the base of the tail was 6ft on the button. We guess the body weight at 550 lbs. Rich Elliott Ethiopian Rift Valley Safaris | ||

That is truly an impressive hog! Congratulations. | |||

Straight out of Star Trek! What a great hog, although if that thing came back as a full body mount to my house, I think I'd be single pretty bloody quickly. K | |||

| One of Us |
Wow! Fantastic! I would have to agree, though, that a full body mount would lead to new domestic arrangements for me as well. | |||
|

Exquisite! Congratulations! Please consider submitting a detailed hunt report... | |||

Wow, if I had to pick between that particular giant forest hog and taking a bongo I would have to give some serious thought. | |||

+1 I am an African swine enthusiast and have had awesome warthog luck but the other 3 have eluded me. I would really like to get a sense of the size of these beasts. The trophy photos always seem to distort things. Very, very nice! Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

I dunno if thats a big old good un or a good old big un but it is darn fine hog! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||
