Three crates from 2024 hunt came today

I was surprised to learn that Roan is a bigger animal. I had never really thought of hunting one but when I saw it in person I was very impressed with the animal. First animal I took with my 475 No 2 Double. I stalked up to it close and shot it off-hand. Really happy to have taken it.
While Roan are beautiful animals I am always shocked at their price so very much more expensive than other animals
 
Had to go rent a forklift today to get the three crates from South Africa off the flat bed trailer. One is in the garage, the other two sitting in the driveway which you know has the neighbors wondering.

I opened the top of the crate in the garage and took out one item (the others get unpacked tomorrow). It is my Rhino foot candy bowl. Wasn’t sure about that but now that I’ve seen it I like it.

Four of the Big 5 are carved on the outside of the bowl.

Finally got the remaining trophies up on the wall. And of course the all important "Rhino in the Living Room". ;-)

Sweet! (No pun intended) I had mine done as cigar ashtrays.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
