The rest of Dad's Namibian trophies are finally in his house. Thought I would post the photos. Mine should be here by the end of the month.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

around 2,000 pounds...
I initally questioned why he wanted to shoot one, but I really like the mount and it was a great hunt. Best eating game animal on earth I think too.
This shot gives you an idea how big they are. The guy standing next to it is probably 5'6" or so.

Great question. The pig actually was blue/grey. The taxidermist took photos from our hunt and matched it. If you look at the photos next to the mount it is a perfect match.
Warthogs really are a kind of blue color once you wash off the dust. they get individual color from whatever they roll in.
Here are a few photos, my pig, and his. mine looks brownish red, his is blue. My mount will be brownish red. I have seen the shop photos and mine is not nearly as blue as Dads.
Very interesting...

Wait till you see the photos of my Warthog mount... I have outdone myself. I will never top the concept I requested the taxidermist to create for me... only about 4 weeks or so before I have it in the house. only about 5 weeks ro so till I get served the divorce papers.
