safari-lawyerI should add that Rick Klimes shared a video of Sam and Rosemary's elephant hunts with me. Those hundred pounders were hitting the ground left and right. Good stuff from the good old days.
Thanks Rick, for the video, and thanks Kathi, for additional insight into this interesting couple.

KathiIt is with great sadness to post that in late November Rose passed away.
She was truly a pioneer for women in big game hunting. From tigers in India, dangerous game in Africa, and extensive North American hunting. She was a remarkable woman.

retreeverI always enjoyed all of the pics by Sam and Rose. I even read somewhere about their exploits a long time ago. Hunters true to their exploits.
Kathy thanks for sharing and Mike thanks for posting.

Michael RobinsonKathi, so sorry to hear that Rose has died. She truly was remarkable, especially given the "norms" of "accepted" and "expected" female behavior during her times. Bravo to her and to Sam, both.

AnotherAZWriterI don't care for the "crammed" way they displayed their taxidermy, but what a life those two led. WOW.

Michael RobinsonWhat a great tiger! Nice Teutonic double, too!

AnotherAZWriterI just got the latest issue of Sporting Classics; opened it up to find a story about this auction, including the tiger photo.
Like I said, what a life.

BaxterBI saw that too, but the rifle in the pic does not look like a double as stated in the magazine.
