RE: Giraffe hunting?
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.

RE: Giraffe hunting?
I asked this question for 1 simple reason.......I've never heard of these animals being hunted.
I wanted to know if this was an isolated occurrence.....or common practice. I don't have a problem with you shooting bald eagles, pigmy elephants or sasquatches.....as long as there's a valid season for the animal. I just wanted to learn more about it BEFORE I formed an opinion.

RE: Giraffe hunting?
Well again, how the heck do you scrore a giraffe? It doesn't have much for headgear - just a couple little stumps on the top of his head. Aller, were you suggesting scoring them based on their Vertebraes or was that comment directed to something else?
