Although I personally am not a big game hunter my father-in-law lived to hunt.
I believe he went on safari at least 8 or nine times. He loved Africa so much that he wanted to move there. It was only his love for his family that kept him state-side.
His name was Tom Waller. Not sure if he may have been a member here or not.
My reason for joining is because he recently passed away leaving behind an extensive trophy collection.
My husband and I are keeping a few of his critters but are at a loss on what to do with the rest.
I contacted a large trophy buyer but quite frankly by the time we paid shipping and a commission we would be same as giving them away.
I realize that we will never recoup what Tom had in them.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Rys
 
What do you have I could be interested in some of these?
 
It might be easier for you to let me know what you're looking for.
We start with antelopes and end with zebras. ; )
If you pm me an email address I can send pictures.
 
Rys I think you would benefit by posting here a list of what you have and then maybe some group pictures of the trophies.

I have a list but will have to look for it.
I know we have pretty much all the plains animals. Family is keeping a few.
Will see if I can figure out pictures.

It's very difficult to put a price on a lifetimes worth of passion.
We've tried to pick the pieces that most made us think of Tom to remember him by.
 
I'm sure it was....
