LAST EDITED ON Jan-16-11 AT 02:19PM (MST)[p]Taken by one hunter, he certainly has taken some huge animals. What do you think those two big ones would score??

Can you believe that toad on the right was taken in CA?
I would venture to guess he scores in the low 270's.

Here's a few more muleys he has taken. The buck in the middle is deceiving. His bases are around 8" in diameter.

Here's another big one...

Check out his bighorn sheep. I think that they could give the World's Record a run for the money. What do you think??

Here's the worlds record..

And here are a few of his..

Here's the granddaddy...

brutus · Jan 16, 2011

Wow thats something you dont see everyday.

Did he mount everything that he shot?

ADDICT · Jan 16, 2011

Those are old mounts too. I could spend hours there.

Man that guy has a ton of trophies! His collection is what most of us put together would equal.

He had the Jonas brothers mount everything, and even took them along on his safaris in Africa. Went 10 times. Although I didnt take a picture of the moose, it was the largest ever shot at the time, 76" spread. I should have taken more photos. He has probably close to 200 mounts.

Here's one wall, probably less than a quarter of what is hanging.

pretty amazing..

nv_hunter · Jan 18, 2011

Ive been in that place and its awesome.... I remember there was a picture of a Huge moose skeleton laying right next to a human skeleton with a rifle also laying there. If anyone has this pic I would like to see it again. Said something about a hunter in Alaska that went missing for years.

Speaking of pictures, I noticed a picture on the wall that seems to show a man holding up a huge hindquarter, more than half the size of himself.
Upon closer inspection, he was holding up the heart of an elephant. It weighed 81 pounds!

massNtrash · Jan 18, 2011

That is a pretty amazing place it reminds me of the safari club in Thermopolis wyoming.

DRHORNHUNTER · Jan 18, 2011

Wow incredible trophy room That ram looks prehistoric he is so dam big

HunterHarry · Jan 18, 2011

I posted those same photos here at MM a bunch of years ago.
Foster's is pretty cool.
His rams & those muleys are world class.

In regards to the comment about the moose skeleton & the hunter's skeleton, I can't remember that one, but this photo of Bill Pinnel of Pinnell & Talison fame shows the result of an encounter gone bad on Kodiak Island.
Same results.

BomberBlackies · Jan 18, 2011

That photo pretty well sums it up! Thanks

LAST EDITED ON Jan-19-11 AT 08:37AM (MST)[p]Wow, if I had a collection like that the last place I'd put it would be a bar. You know every one of those mounts has to be caked in smoke residue.
