Joe, as usual, you have outclassed the dumbest moron on the block. Warthogs are probably the least symmetical of any animal out there. And that is a huge part of their "beauty". Something you can only aspire to from your position in the primordal ooze where you are so much better suited. I have shot or handled a few warthogs and seen many. Not a one had anything close to a symmetric face, and yet all had better manners, on their worst days, than you on your best.

Not only is that an oustanding warthog, those meerkats are about as divine as they could possibly be. I had seen quite a few and was priviledged enough to spend a day in the company of one of Tim Cluttonbrocks bands of acclimated meerkats where we could follow them all day over the plains at only a meter or two distance. And I can tell you they are exactly like Ken's scratchings, and I can also say that were they as big as even a small spaniel, human's would most likely be extinct, and homeless Joe for sure would be just another meerkat turd. They are awesome animals.

I wish I was going to be Lodi for this rifle's debutant ball, but cannot. Unfortunately, I cannot make it, but there is a better than decent chance that the rifle will end up being an international champion. Afterall, the world is coming to Lodi for the championships this September, and that just happens to be Glenn's home range for Creedmoor, where he owns the range record I believe. So, there is a pretty decent chance that this rifle will start out literally on top of the world.

Oh, yeah, I sure wish I could be there.

PS. Joe, you've worn out your curiosity factor with me. Time for you to join Lowell on the "ignore" list. You two are such good company for each other. Bye...

Thanks Ken-are they considered a "rodent or varmint" over there in Africa? Do they eat the termites? Cute little buggers, and your detail-even of something not maybe "my cup of tea" as would an Osthaus Setter with the "nine o'clock tail" very impressive detail and shadowing, great job!!

This is why I wouldn't miss this forum for anything. No place else do you see such beautiful artwork, and such riviting commentary in the same place.

Brentboy...Ouch!

Yep, he gave HomelessJoe pretty stiff verbal shove.

I would guess if one was to just hunt burds they wouldn't need to know what other criters look like in life.Of course if you don't know its at times best not to comment. Remember Tembo is the only critter other than man that all of his knees bend just like ours.Pete the bare skull mount has supper tusses,all are fine heads.If I ever got to go I could be happy with warthogs only but would love a 42" Buff.

I too wish I could even begin to approach Mr. Hursts' level of talent. Simply stunning, and a great and imaginative variation of subject matter rather than just another enraged Cape Buffalo or Bull Elephant. I also wish I had jOes' talent for hooking and reeling in the fish without them even realizing it. Geez, they keep coming even after he takes the minnow off the hook. A guy could make a good living playing poker with them.

Wow.
Thanks for sharing (even though such treasures leave me near weeping with desire...!)

"animals should always be running/looking/charging towards the muzzel"
What a wonderful nugget of knowledge; I never realised that!

Well Brent at Mr.Hurst's expense I'll reply to you...too bad you'll miss it.

Best you get your eyes checked.

The Warthog must have got run over by Col. Capsticks Range Rover...as the left tusk (facing us) is coming out too close to the center line of his snout....give it a close look.
In the real pictures you can see how the snout protrudes where the tusks come out.
Now you can claim it's the angle he's facing but I don't see it that way.

I wasn't going to comment on the ground monkey but after you insulted me like you have I feel I have to....see'ns how yer the Merkat expert and all.

The left ones head looks good...the one of the right (more facing us) his snout is out of wack....his face/snout looks too short even at the angle he is turned.

j0e, I was going to post my home brewed scratchin' of "SpongeBob" on the side of a Win '92.
...but your a tough customer to please.
