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.

Silver Dollar Saloon 1873 - Leadville CO
One of the things I like best about the Aspen Food & Wine Classic is the joints you hit before and after Aspen. Leadville, Colorado boast's a few, very cool "old timey" style saloons. The Silver Dollar Saloon is one of them. Go for the drink and the atmosphere..the food sucks.

Tabor Opera House Across the Street
Trophy Room #1
Some of the worlds most accomplished hunters live in Colorado. This weekend I was fortunate enough to spend some quality time with a few of those men including one of SCI's Past President's. As you can imagine his trophy room(s) is indicative of a well traveled collector.
