My New Doorman
It's amazing how long you wait for a trophy to hang on your wall after taking it. This magnificent, Olive Baboon was shot in 2012 near Tete, Mozambique. He was the troop leader and definitely had command of it. I am not really interested in shooting primates but when this bruiser crossed my path I had a change of heart. He now hangs proudly, in my front room, scaring the shit outta everyone who walks in the door.
The Beauty and Grace of Pheasants - Wyoming 2013
The Midwest has seen a dramatic drop in Pheasant populations. Drought, severe weather, loss of habitat..you name it. After passing on Nebraska, SD and Colorado I thought a jaunt up north would be worth trying. Birds are slim here as well. Good thing there is other shit to do.

Big Tusker - Tete, Mozambique - 2012
For many big game hunters, dangerous game is the pinnacle of our sport. The Big Five holds its position as the pinnacle of that genre and at the top of that list is usually the African Elephant (loxodonta africana.) Just two seasons into our area in Tete, Mozambique it's obvious that years of poaching has taken its toll on the plains game. The Elephant however seem to have eluded this unfortunate reality and are thriving, much like the days of old. This bruiser was taken a few weeks back, as we near close of the 2012 season. A nice, old bull with proper teeth.

Safari Cartoon #2 - J. Longfellow
Uncle Joe is my wife's Godfather. He's also one of my favorite guys. Every now and then a letter shows up with tickets to the gun collector show or a hand did cartoon like this latest gem.
