Great trophies. I'm planning on putting my buff in my office. Should get some interesting feedback since my office is in Palo Alto, the liberal center of the universe.

I love the Buffs. What all guns do you have? I'm in Groton, CT. I'd love to come up and see your animals up close sometime. How many trips have you made to Africa? Where do you shoot over here?

MR,
With people like you it's impossible for me to concentrate at work !!

Several of my colleagues have brought their children to my office over the past couple of weeks to see my daga boys.



It is a joy to watch the youngsters' faces.







Unlike the curators at the Smithsonian, I always let them touch.

Would that Punuu mask make my wife dance for me? If so, I think I need one.

Perhaps, but if you are not careful, when the music stops, she may look like this!

That Warthog is one of the best I've seen! It sure is a big one. What did you us to kill it with? How far was the shot?

For some reason, in that picture, my hog looks bigger, and his tusks look bigger, than they do in real life. Must be a wide angle effect. I see the same effect on the impala picture, too, although that one makes the impala's horns look smaller than they really are.

When I first saw that hog, he was with a small group of sows and piglets (hoglets?). I shot him in the neck at a distance of eighty or ninety yards with a 160 grain Nosler Partition bullet from my 7mm Rem. Mag. The bullet severed his spine and he flipped over and died with just a couple of leg twitches.

There's a little story about him and his teeth. I wanted to use his tusks for handles on a letter opener and a knife, so my taxidermist shipped his tusks separately and replaced them on the mounted hog with what you see.

I'm not sure if the replacement tusks are even the real things--but they sure do look and feel like it. They're also a fair bit bigger and more impressive than his real teeth were--I'm not sure if his old girlfriends would even recognize him now!
