Beautiful room. Got to show my wife the giraffe and the tree. She's been looking for an idea with hers that involves a tree. Thanks.

Hi UEG:

The tree is a real one from the outdoors.. Smiler My Taxi hot glued the artifical leaves to the branches of the tree.

There is a hole cut in the base that the Tree will fit in. You adjust the tree to the position you want, then with wood screws, screw it into place.

Pretty slick idea from my Taxi.

Very nice room PAHunter! Did I see an Nyala in one pic? I think it was on the left side of the pic. Nice Sable too. I'll be in Zim in 3 weeks on a scouting/hunting trip and am looking forward to checking out the Sable. I have two weeks to cover our territories but will take time to hunt some while on the move. Did you see Sable every day? Congrats on your trophies.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Hi LDK:

In Zim in a camp called Dorshano, I saw many many Sable. Mine went 42 inches, but I even saw bigger after I shot mine.

The second camp I was at was called Dingwall, that is where I shot the Giraffe, but I didn't see many Sable there.

Dorshano just outside of Bulawyo has some super Sable.
