Who The #*^@#* Would Shoot A Girafee?

And who would marry a Queer ? But you boyfriend sure did. Hey 208, Who would shoot a bear over bait

I've gotten a few comments about the Giraffe. Poor old Toy's R US mascott. YADDY YADDY YADDY. I don't need you guys to like it, I wa sthe one the bought it. And I would do it again in a heart beat. (Not shoot another one but if I had the hunt to do over again I would shoot it).

It will make a great talking piece in the house and I dont know many people that has ever seen one up close. the mount will be cool.

the Ostrich ? I think it was $600ish ? not sure. It wasn't on the Menu so I didn't really look it up. they were a great addition to see as you were driving around though.

the guy I was pretending to kiss was Ladd. He is the one posting te video and took the video of the cheeta. He went jsut to take pictures and He was a great addition to the hunt. I think out of all of us he had the most fun. it's like going woth a buddy on a sheep hunt were you have no preasure on killing anything but just able to enjoy everything around you.

The rifle is a 375HH. I'm not sure any more then that. My PH Blickies had the gun and let me use it on the Giraffe hunt. I used my 300 win mag on the rest of the hunt.

Not that he needs any excuses, he does'nt, but a giraffe was a most sought after prize in the "Golden Age" of African Big Game hunting. Anyone who goes to the Dark Continent has a right to play out of their own pocket and screw the thoughts of some losers. John

Who The #*^@#* Would Shoot A Girafee?

I would. I want a Girafee skin couch.

The giraffe is cool. A local buddy went last year and took a giraffe. He says you aint seen nothing go down till you've seen a giraffe go down. He's getting a rug made.
Congratulations on a great trip, I'm sure the dark Continent wil never be the same.

Congrats on the animals. Also great pictures, looks like a fun hunt.

Looks like you had a good time, Mooseman. Congrats on all the critters.

I've eaten some of that midsize ostrich, i.e. emu, before but my buddy took his bird meat, i.e. little ostrich (rhea, $90), back to Oklahoma with him so I didn't get to taste it. It looked like a dark meat, more than like a chicken or quail.

So, how long is the neck on the girafe, say x ft? That's the main problem on putting a mount somewhere. Put it kind of diagonal accros a wall, then x*x=2*a*a and you could cut the height of the mount to a ft, if the wall was also a ft long, according to Pythagorus.

Any hunter worth his salt must possess the ability to compute trophy quality via Euclidean geometry.

 

[Moosie]

Here is the Mount (Somewhat) that I'm thinking about.

 

[noharleyyet]

...cool concept.

 

[JB]

not bad looking, but I think it would look better up against a wall.... maybe with one of those velvet 'sad clown' picture's hanging next to it......a more natural kinda thing.

 

[Tom]

It looks great! In a regular house, a=8 ft, so 2*a*a=128 and x=11.3 ft. So the girafe neck could be 11 ft long and it fits diagonal accross an 8 x 8 wall, approx.

 

[AkBearHunter]

Damnit, now you've given me the the itch to go to Africa.......thanks Moosie!! Those are some killer pics and cool animals, especially the giraffe. Did you eat any of it??

 

[FLIPPER]

The one I saw was a floor mount....the base of the neck sat on the floor. It stood straight up...the one you posted looks alot better!!!
