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.
I don't necessarily agree with the first portion of what you said, just my opinion. But the second half I am totally with you on. The show on VS is a load of crap. And going off that I watched a thing on the history channel today on taxidermy, they opened the show up with four guys stalking one grizzly, then after the kill they go on to say that he skinned it and fleshed it as fast he could and just left the meat. I was pissed when i heard that! I don't want to believe that a guide service just let the bear go to waste and I cannot believe that the History channel would make the insinuation that the guides did that. GRRRRRR[:@]Angry now!
