Here's one of the 3 Warties I took in Mozambique on a safari there a couple years ago, along with my tracker Mudu.  | ||

Not an Africa vet, but from my perspective, Outstanding! Care to fill in some details, or even tell a story about your trophy? GWB | |||

We were actually hunting for Nyala at the time, and had skirted a clearing where we had seen a nice one. As dark was falling, we were making our way back around the clearing, and I could barely make out something feeding in the middle. I glassed this Wartie, and then stalked around the side of the clearing, climbed to the top of a big termite mound that separated us, and popped him from the top with a 416 I happened to have in hand. The other 2 I shot were pretty close to this one...I had skull mounts of those 2 and a shoulder mount of this guy. | |||

That is impressive! Thanks for sharing!  Now, some day when you get a chance, how about a photo of the mount? Bobby Μολὼν λαβέ The most important thing in life is not what we do but how and why we do it. - Nana Mouskouri | |||

Bobby, the Moz stuff is in a crate in the garage, awaiting completion of my 2nd trophy room. I think I will probably have this new one filled by the time it's done :-( | |||

That appears to be an exceptional speciman Biebs. Only hope I can find one that nice. | |||

nice, the only thing I wanted on my hunt that I did not get a chance at. Saw a moma and 3 little ones crossing the hwy on the way to the ranch, but did not see any while hunting. Next trip! JD DRSS 9.3X74 tika 512 9.3X74 SXS Merkel 140 in 470 Nitro | |||

JD, I've found that locating a nice-mountable Warthogs is pretty difficult these days. Maybe they get like older Whitetail bucks....laying up during the day and only coming out at night. | |||

I'd like to hang one just like it on my wall too. Those circle tusks are impressive. You did well Biebs. George "Gun Control is NOT about Guns' "It's about Control!!" Join the NRA today!" LM: NRA, DAV, George L. Dwight | |||
