Get outta here man... surely you are kidding I dont know a human (even a drugged up one) that could take a 44 mag round... never mind a little beaver Either he was an ABSOLUTE BEAST OF A BEAVER or (not discredting you) 1. You missed, without realising 2. The beaver was on meth 3. Something...

No way?! 44 mag into beaver?! Surely you are joking man... ha ha A 9 mil and they are usually out for the count Were you drunk, or was it an especially HUGE ANGRY BEAVER aha ha ha ha

I mean, that Chital Deer skin is gorgeous. How much would one cost? Could I have it shipped to the UK?

You guys are awesome loving the Naked Gun quotes OMG Fave films ... tho to be honest, I came across a LOT of beaver in Alaska (when I lived there) and while on the actual beaver itself it didnt look all that impressive so i never harvested it. FYI there are so many damn beaver in Southeast...

A legend among men. This photo is amazing, I would like to meet with you during a trip to India in 2021, is possible please PM me

ok, Kawshik, you get 150 points just for being older than I am !!! Your last Bengal hunt was 15 years before I was born! Truly AWESOME Please PM me, as I have a lot of questions I would love to meet with you in India sometime in the next few years

Honestly, don't let them win. it's becoming a dog eat dog world, and we need to fight for our basic rights. providing conservation projects are good, there's no reason why stuff should be "banned" just annoys the hell out of everyone

There's no beef Newboomer? None other than when I was "demanded" photographic proof. I take no beef with anyone that they didn't take with me first. If you demand photographs before you can be decent with someone, then that's a human decency issue that one should take up with oneself. Cheers...

Thanks Kawshik I am a former British Army Capt. that has seen both sides of the coin. I have taken both human and animal lives and sometimes I am not sure how I feel about either. Although my heart is good. I am definitely a hunter by heart. Although I do, very occasionally, feel that hunters...

thank you sir sorry if we got off on the wrong foot i know its hard to trust a stranger these days, but rest assured i am a friend in time you'll see i wish you the very best also take care my fellow hunters and gentlemen

Nice. Totally going with your judgement on that one. Lived in Alaska for 3 years, saw some "glacier bears" which were somewhat close to spirit bears (ish) those were pretty special I have never seen snow leopard and amur leopard pelts in the flesh, as they are illegal, but a quick search on...

Well, OK. Shame that you depend on some photos in order to assert human decency. Doesn't do our hobby any favours.... Take care.

T That Gemsbok is stunning. Utterly. Very impressive specimen. Did you choose to get it mounted or pelted? Curious. I am in JoBurg then Botswana in May next year, looking to do my first Southern Africa hunt. Hope to bag one of these beauties.

No worries. I take it you haven't done research before? To be asked to prove yourself by showing a bunch of photos is not a pleasant way of welcoming someone into a community. If you wish to help, its much appreciated. If you have paranoid or negative tendencies, you can move on. Nobody here...

@sierraone How about Spirit bear? How would that hold up against cinnamon bear?

Yes, nice... thank you guys, keep em coming.

OK, so I am currently adorning my wall with artistic drawings of things I can't afford. Woe me. And I wanted to know what you guys thought were the most STUNNING animal pelts from around the world? I have a bunch of space on the left side of my living room wall and I need ideas... pelt ideas...

Paranoid bunch, much? Relax. It's a forum. I hate to break it to you but there are probably dozens, if not hundreds, of people on here that you don't actually know - even ones you THINK you know. Not everyone has some top secret weirdo agenda. I'm here to learn more about hunting and picking...

It's no better here in England. In fact, it's probably worse. I'm quite the traveller and have lived all over the world, inclding Alaska for 3 years (probably the most free place I've ever lived) and to be honest the world is getting more and more restrictive. I don't personally own any ivory...

Sure, I will start a new thread in the near future will all that. Just wanted to stay on topic here for now :)

Excellent, fellas very knowledgeable I love the comments Any further info you guys might have on what makes the best trophy animals? keep em coming all opinions welcome

P.S. What a shame it would be to hunt DG and then NOT be allowed to bring your trophy home! I would be fuming!

Super, Mark. Thanks for the detailed reply. This makes a lot of sense. I presume that also the "beauty" of the animal will also have a bearing? Since an ugly faced animal, ie. with excessive scarring, missing teeth etc, will not be as welcome on the wall as a fresh faced handsome specimen...

Hi all! (y) "Wildlife research" and "hunting history" is kinda my thing. I am doing some research on "The Dangerous Seven" And I am wondering what attributes have historically been most highly prized in these 7 trophy animals? ie. hunters in the past would consider a lion with a black mane...

Thanks all for the warm welcome. Everyone seems super nice, so that's great. @alexandro: Yes, I basically study exotic wildlife in my spare time - through books mainly. Was a zookeeper once at a small family zoo, and that really fanned the flames. Learning about animals has become a lifelong...

Hi all, name's James. been hunting for a while now, but not hunted Africa before. I am also a researcher of sorts, and enjoy studying wildlife and hunting in my spare time. not much else to say, but thought I would say hello to you fine folks!
