Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire American Huntress Tess Talley Shoots A Giraffe ... And She Is PROUD Of It ...

Bet she was using a creeeeedmoor too!

Social media and the need for instant gratification often has far reaching and unintended consequences.

With that being said I agree with Big Stick, watching snowflakes melt is good sport in and of itself.

Fahq the schitt-stirring antis and the self-righteous, sanctimonious elitist Fudds.


If it weren't for hunting, those that live in the region would not see any value in the animals and have no reason to give a schitt one way or another about their conservation.

Yep. Stupid Bitch.

Worked for a gent that was a straight up Jarhead Sniper in the early 'Nam Corp(he transitioned later to the M40). He had/has more money than God and could give a single fhuqk,about much. In a nutshell,we hit it off rather well and I'd quiz him on his Hunts. He fhuqking HATED Sheep in general and had multiple Slams(of the World) and was fixated upon a #1 Marco Polo,going three times in a single year. Anywhoo...I asked him one day,what was his greatest Trophy and sorted fingered it'd be Sheeply or a Spotted/Striped Cat(he'd killed more than a few Lions and they werre blasse' in comparison). He thunked a coupla seconds and said "Giraffe" and I said "no schit...a fhuqking Giraffe?!!!?" and he said "Yes"......."it took the longest to hit the ground".

Goofy fhuqker was ardent in the resolve. While he Guided more than a smidge,I never forgot his telling me that and the conviction of same.

Sherpas in the Himalayas,made him more than a touch nervous,"because you can't hear the greasy bare-footed bastards sneaking up from behind you".

His SA Guide in the early 70's,passed him an FAL for "trouble" and he was eventually asked to help "diminish" a Wildebeest herd and sure as fhuqk did. He told me same with relish,that couldn't be feigned.

GOOD bastard and easily amongst the best I've ever worked for........................

Interesting story. Thumbs up.

Well just damn, that stupid [bleep] killed a crtitter and took a picture with it, just like hunters have been doing since the camera was invented..

What we are witnessing is a new breed of men.

I don’t either but when you start turning those that are indifferent to the sport of hunting against us we’ve lost

Has anyone here ever eaten giraffe? I have about 30 years ago and I can still remember talking to my late dad about how good it was. I don't care if she killed a giraffe or not, and yes I do think her hunting and many more like her are helping conservation in Africa. If it wasn't for Facebook and other social media, this wouldn't be an issue. Is what she did posing with a giraffe any different than guys on outdoor tv shows posing with a whitetail buck they killed? I don't think so.

Nice black bull. Very hard animal to hunt in thick cover. I have eat better meat but what would an old angus bull taste like? The chillen that helped us skin and gut would take foot long chunks of gut and sling the green runny stuff out and eat it raw. My great grandmother saw Comanche do the same thing.

Yeah, it's the world we're living in today, where practically everything is put out there on social media.

Not my cup of tea , but do you think that the people attacking her would feel any different about our deer, elk, moose or bear hunts. Wake up and don’t attack people’s legally taken quarry even if it’s not something you want to do. And she is kind on the eyes.

She looks nice.

I have no interest in hunting giraffe. I have no interest in showcasing my kills on social media. Having said that, I am with Stick and Aces on this one. If it was a legal hunt and a clean kill, more power to her...

Pretty simple really.

+1

that's how I look at it...….all of this high fiving , jumping around...…...pretty immature acting...….bob

That’s a nice giraffe

But am guessing if it was not for social media she would probably not be hunting.
Seems like quite a few hunters and fisherman, especially the younger generation, get off more on adulation and likes on social media than the actual process of hunting and fishing.

See a lot of crappy shooting , poor woodsmanship and wounded animals on YouTube hunting videos and hunting shows and the posters still seem to be super proud of their skills.


But maybe I’m wrong
