Lets See Your Favorite Trophy Picture

99 savage in africa nice! What caliber?

Thanks! .300 Savage, 180 grain Accubonds in handloads. Gemsbok, kudu, impala, and warthog

And noting your user name... I used a Marlin GBL to take 2 buffalo, a zebra, warthog, and a black wildebeest.
 
My first buffalo. Hunted with Game 4 Africa with Wik as my PH. He, the buffalo, was all I wanted, a Roman nose and a nice dewlap. An old boy that Wik said possibly had no more than a year left owing to his teeth being worn down.
I was particularly pleased with my bullet placement. He went no more than 30 yards.

Combo elephant & buffalo hunt Greater Kruger. Maybe because it’s the most recent, still fresh in my mind.

Not my best trophy, and not even my trophy. Not my best photo either. It’s my favorite as it was the evening of the last day on the last safari with my Dad, and favorite hunting memory. Zambezi delta Mozambique.

Favorite trophy photo of all time…my daughter Harper…age 10, holding her 10yo ram from Mt Harper area, as we await our supercub extraction…after 9-days afield and dragging her from hell to breakfast over 65+ miles of ups and downs…dramatic physical and emotional elevation changes. She only cried 3-times, each well deserved, and never complained even once. She just epitomized bad-ass huntress with her stern face and Tiffany teal crocs. Will adore this photo as long as I live. Also why my hunting partner who helped with this adventure, when we went to Reno for her to receive her ram award, he made us each T-shirts saying “Hunt Like a 10-YO Girl.” Literally complained less than any hunting partner I’ve ever shared the wild with.

JK! Thanks, AI!

My buff though. Non trophy
 
Seriously, I don’t know if I have a favorite, but I do like this one for two reasons.

He was the top plains game animal taken in Zimbabwe in 2017, according to the ZPHGA awards.

And,

I could still get up from this position without needing a hand or looking like a cripple. :cool:

This is one of my favorite trophy photos that I have taken. This is my buddy with his first ever mule deer buck from Wyoming in 2018. This was taken with a plane old IPhone 5 camera, no filters but the way the sky and light were because of the storm in the background it turned out amazing. To this day it is still his screen saver and he has it framed in his man cave.

I have several I consider favorite. However, this one is special because my wife spotted the Kudu before the PH or anyone else did. It is a funny story, and how it all turned out. We had been hunting Kudu hard for 4 days, and they always gave us the slip and didn't cooperate. It is our favorite antelope, and she wanted me to get one no matter what.
