MoA,
Caption on the first photo "the gentleman who shot the animals and his wife" ! You sure about that? Got too excited during the shoots?
Pulling your leg, bro! Could have been '.....with his wife'!

Wow.Thanks. What a collection. That's a massive boar in the first snap.
Our man has shot quite a few in Africa as well. I could identify the Kudu, Springbok,Blesbok,Orix, Black wilderbeast n warthog (tusks).

MoA . Some homework for you.
Please find out from your friend if those mounted tusks are Wild Boars or Wart Hogs.

Those are the tusks from the Boar in the first post right on top. However he has shot a warthog as well, dont have a pic of those.
Shooter, we will probably meet him at the range. Have converted him to shoot groups as well.

You got the better of me Shooters. Never seen a swine with such massive teeth.
Hail to thee.
Cheers.
Can you please explain WHY you were so sure they were Wild Boar and NOT Wart Hog tusks.
