Some of you guys have met my dad. Well he finally got his trophies in his hands this week and we got them hung up to look at so I thought I'd post some pictures here so he could show off a little.

Frank, Loy has repeatedly said you're about like having a pet coon around, and he wanted me to post a picture of you he took at the Cup trainup this year to prove it. Now who's on the dopes? Your eyes even glow in two different colors when you're on a roll.

Tony your dad was great to talk to. I spoke with him about that hunt in depth at the Cup. Those are great mounts also. The work is quality!!!

One of these days I'll make it!!! May be a long time though!! lol
 
Re: A few pics of my dad's last two trips to Africa

Well crap, I told dad he was going to have to reply to everyone who asked questions after I posted the original pictures. But has that hard headed son of a gun taken the initiative to answer you guys?? NOOOOO!! Look dad, I'll answer these guys the best I can this time, but the next time you come to town I'm gonna ratchet strap your butt to a chair until you make some posts of your own here. I mean damn, according to you "every day is Saturday" so I KNOW you have time to post on the internet.

Dad says, "thanks for all the compliments, the trophies look even better in person"

He hunted in various places in South Africa. I'll let him give the exact places and details when I get him trained to post.

gei, if you can email the pictures to me I'll post them for you. You can send them to [email protected]

Ghog, they were mounted in SA by Marakalalo Trophies. All of the mounts came out very nice and the crating was well done too. There were no damaged areas of the trophies at all. We are very satisfied with the work. Good luck with your trip.

I love seeing nice trophys. I'll never be able to go there & do that. But I'll bet he really had a ball. Tell him congratulations from another old fart.
