Merry Christmas AH Community!

@ActionBob: I just had another look at the picture you posted and there is really something I need to ask. On the left hand side you have a very well executed Blue/Black Wildebeest and Hartebeest pedestal stand. I always understood that Black Wildebeest are far smaller in size than Blue Wildebeest. Is that Black a giant or something, because judging from those mounts I would think they are species of the same size !

Merry Christmas! Family is the best gift of all!

I would have never thought a Rhino could look so festive at Christmas time but she pulled it off!

Congrats to you both on tagging out on the most important hunt of all!

No look closer. There is some structure and grass on the pedestal and some of Gina's crochet stuff on the couch that sort of covers the blacks chest. He has a nice wide muzzle and great bosses but I've seen bigger.

The blue was the really big one. He was so old the PH was urging me to shoot quickly. He was worried it might die of old age before I shot it the horns have been rubbed through so you can see the core at the tips.

Look at the length of the heads and depth of the chests. The blue is also much wider in the chest.

The blue came from Limpopo, the other two from the Karoo. So all from their Indigenous regions where they always are the healthiest and best specimens

SOUTH AFRICA: South Africa Big 5 Hunt With Bossie Of LIMPOPO BIG GAME SAFARIS

Big 5 Hunt. This report is for a hunt that took place several years ago. As many of you know, I had two buffalo, a Zimbabwe elephant taken during the ban, fully exportable so still trying to get that imported. However my replicas are home on very nice hand carved wooden bases. A male lion that...

As many of you now know, @Just Gina and I got married in September.

The Hunt Is Over!

Greetings Everyone! I have some fun and exciting news to share with all of you! I just got back in the states a couple of weeks ago from a 21-day hunt in Tanzania, which you all will hear about soon. Before the 21-day hunt, I spent and AMAZING 8 days in Zanzibar at Kendwa Rocks beach resort...

Well after we got back from our fantastic honeymoon on Zanzibar and epic hunt in Tanzania, Gina dove right into full on Christmas mode! I think she had the new 12 foot tall tree up within about a week!

I haven't been surrounded by so much Christmas Spirit in a very long time and just had to share a little with you all.

Merry Christmas to both you and Gina.
Krish

Randy,
It would be much more traumatic than Norman Bates pulling open that shower curtain!

Just kidding Cody @Bullthrower338 LOL

I'm sure she could still get the stuff that has fiberglass strands in it that they used to make nets out of. Tell her to get some good gloves first.

Merry Christmas! Enjoy your first Christmas as a married couple.

BTW - Gina did a great job decorating, and I am a total Christmas tree snob .

Also, the rhino just makes it! Move over Rudolph

Merry Christmas to Gina and Bob,
All the best and happy new year.
All that's missing from the decor is a Tractor.

Have a Great one.
