I need a little help with the photo posting. I'm not sure of the size on anything. The paperwork said that the oryx and hartebeast were gold medal and the kudu was silver medal. I think that the PH said the oryx was around 36", the hartebeast 22.5" and the kudu was around 51". I love the kudu's spread and white tips.

Thanks for the help Widowmaker. My wife and I stayed with Danie & Ansie Strauss @ Kowas Farm. I hunted with their PH Christi. Danie is the president of NAPHA and quite a character. We hunted by riding in the back of the landcruiser until the game was spotted. We then devised a plan and made the stalk. That's my wife Dawn and Danie with the warthog. He is wild, but comes to farms in the area to eat and socialize.The rhino photo was taken @ Mt Etjo, the resort/hunting concession owned by Jan Oelofse (he was the animal wrangler for Hatari). Mt Etjo is a beautiful place and great for animal viewing. We can't wait to return to Namibia and plan to visit the Strauss family at the DSC convention.

Beautiful pics. I love the one of the trophy warthog that your wife is petting. Amazing. That is why it is so important to take scores if not hundreds of pics on your safaris. You cannot go back and recreate the memories in vivid detail unless you have taken the photos. Congratulations.

Excellent photographs - and trophies!

I particularly like that hog. What's the story on him?

Yes, we HAVE to hear the story on the Warthog. Obviously he has grown to that huge size and stature being friends with humans. Tell us more.

Thanks for the kind words. The warthog has been coming to the farm since he was a piglet. He's 5 years old now. He has a tag in his left ear, but that did not stop someone from putting an arrow in him. Danie was depressed for the first few days that we were there-he was afraid that someone had killed his friend. The warthog (Skrumba) came to Danie at a waterhole with a piglet in tow on about our fifth day there. He then came to the farm a few times. The family believes that he had been off breeding-his balls were the size of navel oranges. My wife will never forget petting that little piggie.
