My taxidermist did it a few years back.. the story is awesome, not to mention the size of the shoulder mount
He did it w/ a bow too, it was pretty impressive, he's got the rib w/ the arrow sticking through it next to the mount.. pretty neat display.
And yes i think its for the trophy.
Dumb. Sorry, how is a giraffe dangerous and how are they hard to hunt? A giraffe can be seen from how far away? Oh yeah, the terrain you hunt on is flat? Not much of a sport to me. Elephant hunting is the same way.
I'd rather hunt a full season in the bitter Wisconsin cold and shoot a doe on the last day of the season than to call an animal that has a brain the size of a pea a trophy.
Oh yeah, that show on Vs. Extreme something or other. Where they hunt wild game in Africa, I think is a joke. "Lets walk up to this elephant and wait for it to charge. Then all the trackers (5 total) can open up their shotguns/rifles on it to bring it down for the hunter." Dumb and it gives our sport a BAD NAME.
