Judging Giraffe

Great pics Louis.

And there I was picturing you driving back to the camp with four long legs poking up from the back of the truck and a dirtly great long neck dragging on the ground behind !

Thank you Paul!

There are guys who put the whole thing on a trailer and I have seen a picture of one that they picked up in a TLB I just don’t want to move the animal around too much before we have the skin off, scared it will get damaged.

Best Regards
Louis van Bergen

I love the pattern on your giraffe Lori, very nice...would have liked to have gotten that one myself (lol).

What an awesome thread!

I wish I'd found this before I went on my first Safari, but maybe it's even better now since I'm sure that I appreciate it more.

I have sure had a lot of those "non-hunting" types question my choosing to shoot a Giraffe... I don't even know where to start tellin' people like that why, so I really don't even try. I mean, "if ya have to ask..."

I have enjoyed having taken mine so much that I want to do it again, and I don't even have my flatskin home yet. If I find one that appeals to me, which many in the photos in this thread have, I will gladly take another one.

Just want to share pics of a bull I saw in Zim twice, last year and 2 weeks ago. Very interesting bull, look at his head...

Also hunted one few years ago in RSA, mature bull, not as dark as others, but nice anyway...

That is one freaky looking Giraffe! Thanks for sharing Martin!

Shot one once probably won't do it again.
