Dad's Hyena is done!
« on: March 09, 2015, 08:22:20 AM »
Jerry Huffaker of Abilene Tx did the work.  Dad is going to love this as much as Mom will hate it!

Yeah, I told dad to loose that hat, but he would not listen to me...

Thanks for sharing this photograph.  I had no idea hyenas were so large (I somehow pictured them like a small to medium sized dog).  And that animal's face, I knew I had seen it before: Straight out of the Lord or the Rings--one of the nasties that rode with the Orcs.  Very intimidating.

Tell your father is his handsome, just takes poor pictures!

I think the expression on dads face has more to do with being 77 years old and having just hunted all day in 110-120 degree weather followed by a night hyena hunt that ran to midnight!
