Last two Zimbabwe trophies home now

12 December 2010, 09:17

Brought home my last two trophies tonight; the Chobe bushbuck and my Cape Buffalo. Please excuse my mediocre camera skills - they really look better in person than I make them out to be. I'm a happy hunter, just looking and remembering all the fun I had.

The pedestal mount swivels on the base and I can position him however I want to fit into corners of different lighting. Back is finished buckskin colored suede.

I'll try to experiment with lighting and get some better ones to put in the trophy room section one of these days. He's as black as I remember and built like a tank. For now you get the idea of what they turned out like....

Very nice mounts blank. I love those Chobe's. SG Olds, for what it's worth, any safe made by Cannon (they have multiple brand names) is covered by their lifetime warranty. Mine was ruined in the catastrophic flood we had back in May. One call to Cannon in CA and they sent me a new one. It arrived in 8 days. Didn't even charge me for shipping, and at 800 lbs, I'd hate to think what that cost to TN.
Cheers,
David

"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."

Thanks guys. My wife is starting to roll her eyes at the thought of more (read bigger) trophies from next years trip, so maybe I'll finally get the OK to shoot more teeny-weenies!

As for the gun safe, Heritage is a local manufacturer in Grace Idaho, the quality and support is quite good, and the price was right at the time.
