...Hey Ed, you're able to see the pleasure behind the work in progress facial expressions, you ever consider professional poker?  ......................shoulda shaved that mess beforehand, it may sound crazy, but while there in the bush hunting, it makes you want to take your damn shirt completely off and hang it in a back pocket, guess that's why Tarzan never wore a suit.  If you ever see me in a poker game, it's because I've decided to give money away. Guys shaving body hair is the last step in feminization. Just sayin'...  That hunt was obviously a labor of love. In Alaska if I got hot, I just shed layers of clothes until I got comfortable. Here, I have found the virtue of loose, thin cotton shirts over going shirtless. Ed

Congratulations Gunner! What an experience! And it sure looks like mighty fine shot placement to me.

I can't watch the video here due to the hospital's content filters. I'll look at it tonight. I've seen the stills before, though, and it was a great kudu.

I can tell you Hatari's Trophy Room is something to see, among many, a full mount of a friggin' BONGO!

Handsome devil and under appreciated. If they were a North American species, they'd have a cult following bigger than sheep.

Ed LOL on the poker, shaving the bear hair in Okleehoma is a survival step, these rednecks would shoot me in the back were I swimmin in the creek, I can see the headlines now, "LOCAL SHOOTS SASQUATCH" Alaska will be another place hunted one day, I can hardly wait, and yes, proper threading will make or break about any hunt!

2017's gonna be it Charles, can't decide to go for the rounding out of the spiral horned five, or go for another buff and leopard! Regardless, I'm truly screwed.

I can tell you Hatari's Trophy Room is something to see, among many, a full mount of a friggin' BONGO! First - Gunner that is an awesome kudu!!! And you are right, many people go a long time and never see one that size, let alone shoot it. Second - Jorge, if a full body mount bongo gets you fired up wait til you see a full body of a Lord Derby Eland!! A guy here local has one. I've seen it up close and personal. It will blow your mind. Not to mention he also has a full body bongo, along with a myriad of other trophies.

I'm finding out how very undeservedly lucky I was Heeler, Thank You Sir! I'll be back, thinking an Eland with a Sharps will be a nice cap on the return campaign.

really enjoyed that video!
thanks for sharing it with the rest of us
well done Gerry, fine trophy indeed.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Beautiful Jerry. But I didn't think you even needed a gun. Why didn't you just do this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8cDfnQD0ws
