My wife says I have too many trophies in the house and some of them have to go.

























Do any of you know if I could sell my wife to Cabela's or donate her to a worthy cause so that I can keep my trophies?

In Masailand the current going rate for wives is 4 cows at $40 apiece or $160 in total.

How old is she? Any pictures? Ought to be able to at least get a couple of cows depending on mileage.

VBR,

And just what is it you will be making room for?

Man you love to thump those Lions don't you... I counted 8.

If you do decide that you need to thin out the herd I am sure that lots of Universities would love to have them.

Tough Decision though. Good Luck.

What's she look like, and can she cook ???

Someone I know just got back from a mission in Africa and he was offered 10 head of cattle for his daughter. Sounds like a bargain, keep the trophies.

ForrestB:

I heard you were the man...what a collection!

Forrest, if she is #1 wife you will miss her. At least for a brief while.

is that your trophy room?

It's not EXACTLY mine. Like "cats" I'm not able to figure out how to post my own pics, so I borrowed these. Everyone in Texas has a trophy room that looks so similar to this one, I didn't see any harm in showing ya'll KINDA what mine looks like.

I keep foregetting it is April 1st. I went inot a local Gun Shop today to pick up a scope I ordered. They maked a loaded up Dakota 416 rem with a S&B scope for $2,500.00. Of course stupid me tried to buy it!

Incredable trophy room I've been drooling over the pictures 8 lions 4 leopard 3 sable and what 3 jumbos OUTSTANDING

Trade, Sell, or Dump the wife it would criminal to break up that trophy room

i have seen these photos before, Trophy rooms of the world volume 1, I think we have a Troll????

Where did you get pictures of my trophy room?

Forrest

I know you're going to miss your wife but I'll have to tell you from my own experience it will pass.

You could always have the wife mounted with the lions. I'm thinking kind of a successfull hunt scene, on the lions part.

Good one Forrest. I was thinking... man those pics look really familiar.

I didn't know anyone lived in the Buckhorn...

The Buckhorn Museum - San Antonio

What's missing? I didn't see a Bongo, Grizzly or black bear anything else

Don't worry trapntrav, he's got 'em. They might not show in these pics, but there there somewhere. The bear trophies are so numerous, he's got some rugs stashed under the bed.

Here you go:

that's better, thanks

My wife meet me at the door yesterday morning wearing nothing but a smile and holding 2 pieces of rope. She said "tie me up and you can do anything you want" so I did and I went hunting!

So Forrest, if that's not "exactly" your trophy room, can we be sure that it is "exactly" your wife who is making the demands here? And furthermore, at the Rambouillet show I didn't buy a single bit of hunting weaponery, accessories, clothes or book a single hunt. I did however buy about $700 of really good wine, which shows just how far I've sunk into the French lifestyle. My wife didn't mind! If I'd bought a nice chunk of Turkish Walnut (and boy there were some nice pieces) she would have thought I was crazy. I think you should have been here.

This trophy room can be seen in the book "Great Hunters" vol #1. It belongs to Mr. Dan Duncan.

I love the wall of lever guns.

I have a photograph of my son taped to my computer taken in the entryway of Dan's house. In the photograph you see my 10 year old surrounded by a small pride of lions (three males and a female).

Dan is gracious enough to open his home to Houston Safari Club youth events and the look on the kids faces (let alone the adults) when they walk into his home and see his amazing collection of animals on display, is a thing of wonder.

Bob Davis,
Is that Harry Jersig collection from the (I think it was) Lone Star Brewing company in San Antonio?

Rich Elliott

Forrest,
So everyone in Texas has a trophy room like that?? And an old 1962 chev pickup that needed a paint job 18 years ago?

It does look like that guy gets out once in a while.

Pretty much just like that. They're all so similar we just use pictures of Duncan's house to save ourselves time.

It's true. When I first saw it I said to myself, "Gee Forrest has a trophy room just like mine, except the poor guy looks like he is a little low on guns."

It doesn't look like the taxidermist who did the Lions has ever seen a live one.

I am mostly dissapointed when I see full mounts of Lions. It seems that most Taxidermists can't do them justice in my eyes.

Hey, wait, I think I saw my daughter's lost cat in there somewhere. Have you been roaming Poor Farm Ditch with your 22 again? Should we take the missing pet poster down at JMH? Bob

I hope she's trophy wife...

Makes the stuffed squirrel over my fireplace look a little silly! I better get out and do a little more hunting!

Correct - it's been moved from the Lone Star to a Saloon/Museum on Houston St. in downtown San Antonio.

They've got a bunch of Bill Negly stuff there too.

I like the first picture, thousands of dollars worth of guns and a ten dollar T.V.

I knew it was bogus when I saw the 94 Winchesters.
