Fordy says hey

[joe16]

Fred got his Buffalo and Fordy shot a tall giraffe. He'll have all the details when he gets back. He just wanted me to send his blessings and say gday.

I wonder if Fordy took a neck shot on the giraffe?

And goggles!

Thanks for the update @joe16 !

Awesome news!

Had no idea giraffes were in Australia. .17Cal.?

 

[gltaylor]

They were in Africa! Fred's first (dream) hunt
Can't wait for the report!

Lots of room for elevation error

Thanks Joe,

Congratulations Fred! Nice Cape Buffalo. I might be able to lure him across to another forum.

From left to right who is who?

I've had a yack with Fordy a few times on the phone but never put a face to a name

Whooooooo! Hell yeah! Brother blood!
Giraffe is the best game meat I ever tasted. Spent two years in Africa ate me a lot of stuff.

When in Africa do as the Africans do.

I guess Fred wanted to do the Traditional hunt with a Pith helmet etc.. I have a .com freind in Africa on an African forum who uses his Landrover and Pith helmet to hunt.

If I go back I will look for a Pith Helmet just for shots and giggles.

Wearing mankini in Africa might get unwanted attention.

Thanks, accessing forums from phone makes pics hard to see.

Here is the Mad Hatter with his Harvest.

Shoulder mount would be interesting, just sayin. Start it at floor level? Also thought for sure there would be a Pith helmet!!!

@joe16 what Mad Hatter? We have seen revealing images of you on here!

Mad Aussie, maybe. Looks like a typical Aussie to me.

I thought Fordy had 20ft ceilings in his mansion "down there"

He told me they were 40 ft ceilings and it’s more of a palace, than a mansion.

I'm such a red neck. I need to dream bigger!

That giraffes head looks about the size of a wallaby, probably coulda used the .243 and 55g hunter. Just sayin.
