Africa trophies are home!!
« on: April 01, 2010, 06:42:09 AM »
Well, the adventure is coming to an end.  We finally got our trophies home after waiting a year and 9 mos.  As many of you know, Dan shot all his trophies with a NEF handi rifle, 30-06.  For you newbies, here is a link to the story.

Can't really do that, because he and I didn't hunt together, everyday.  That's why I posted the link above.

BTW, those pics above are all my son's trophies.  They are in my basement waiting to be picked up.  Here is a quick shot of mine, hanging around my bar.

Did you sample all of the meat of the game you harvested? If so was it all delectable? Looks like a lot of good eating to me. Thanks for shareing. eddie
