"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."

Mike,

There's nothing quite like a lion. That is the one you took with Fulton?

Thanks.

Mark, yes, that is the rogue lion I killed while hunting in Namibia, north of Etosha, with Vaughan Fulton.

Here are a couple more of my trophies, which I have hanging on the wall of my Boston office:

Thanks.

Here's another shot of my lion, also taken by my friend.

This old boy's mane is about sixteen different colors, and this photo shows it.

Very nice. Was that hunt reported by you? I don't remember the particulars.

Any more taxidermy in your office?

COOL WORKING SPACE! I could spend some time there....


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Thanks for the kind comments. No more trophies in the office. Those two buff kind of fill it up.

And you are very funny, Jim! Three legs and a pistol! Razzer

All I will say - because I have told this story here a couple of times before - is that when we finally tracked that lion down and met his last charge - my .338 Win. Mag. felt like a .22 Short!

Fantastic lion. I will have to look up the story since I missed it too.


ALLEN W. JOHNSON - DRSS

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

MR, those are great lions. Some day perhaps, I would love to get some of your luck on big male lions. Next trip. for me, is Botswana, but for ele with Steve "Shakari" Robinson. Maybe at least I get to see a mature male lion!!
If you get any hot tips on a good lion hunt that you can't get to, PLEASE let me know!! Big Grin

I like the skulls too. Not many guys have 2 lions on their table. Good work.

Lorenzo...yes, the tusk and the lion skulls are great. Man, those cats got big teeth! One does not realize the hurting they can put on you...until you see these pictures. The mane on the lion is spectacular and he is mounted quite well. Nice buff at the office too. If that does not give you incentive to stay and work late nothing will. MR, thanks for the pics.

The 2 Buff on the wall behind your desk would tend to set the mood for the client when they are in your office I suppose. Great photos and mounts.
