FINALLY

[salmonchaser]

On my way to Portland this morning. 4.5 hour drive, two mountain passes on the most frequently closed section of freeway in the nation. No snow overnight should be good. My trophies from Africa, 11 months ago, finally arrived and have made it through inspection. Hopefully they survived the trip, getting lost, broken shipping crate, getting lost again. But I’m still excited. Hoping to be home by dinner time.

Woo hoo! That would be a trip to look forward to. Post them up when you can.

Awesome. Post some pics of your mounts.
Safe travels buddy.

We'll all be excited for you when you're able to get them home. By all means, give us some pictures.

Have a safe trip home and looking forward to the pictures of your trophies.

Here's to a safe trip! And along with everyone else, I'm eager to see your photos!

Have a safe trip, this has been the winter from hell in the west. Looking forward to pictures.

Portland would be the last place I would want to go to.
Safe travels.

Made it home, now to figure out what to do with them

Beautiful trophies Don. Congratulations again on your success.

Catherine spotted the skull carving when we stopped at the taxidermists on our way home. A local Zulu artist does the work. $25.00.

Great trophies

 

[DrMike]

All beautiful mounts. Congratulation. Now you will have to build a trophy room!

 

[Balthazar]

I really like the way you chose to have them mounted; probably saved a few bucks vs the hair on the head taxiderm mount.
Hope you have the wall space to display; my wife would have said MAN CAVE PLEASE!

 

[salmonchaser]

There is a limit to her patience. One wall is available. We will get it figured out this weekend. She was on every hunt except the Kudu, most fun I’ve ever had.

It has been.
