Beautiful Todd! And the zebra is cool too. We got one in Namibia and it was memorable to say the least

The zebra came to me from a friend who was a taxidermist, and went to Africa every year.
Hagan Thompson, from Las Vegas. Passed away a few years ago.
The story was, that a livestock truck was transporting zebras, and got in an accident, killing one of the zebras.
Hagan and his entourage rolled up on the scene, and Hagan asked if he could skin/cape the dead zebra.
They said okay, and here we are. We were visiting with Hagan regarding a deer mount, and my wife spotted the zebra rug, and had to have it.
Interesting side story: Hagan was a really funny and colorful guy. He (and wife) became friends with a retired stripper, who happened to be African American, and who got into hunting from back in her "work days" in Alaska.
Hagan took her to Africa at least once, maybe twice. Lot's of funny stories, but I've already taken this topic too far into the weeds.

Mike,
Your idea of a lifter is a little skewed, actually really off.

I'm trying to get that picture out of my head

Ran across this old picture from about 22 years ago. Me and my old hunting partner, Doctors Gresen (he's behind the Camara)

Default A Rare pair of 20 gauge Underlifters meet @ Sanford
This past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting Jay Oliver at Deep River,

Jay had brought his great 20 gauge underlifter and we put the two lifters back together for a few pictures. (I believe these spent some time together before)?

I enjoyed meeting Stan as well. Those guns were both made in 1879 with Parker made Laminated steel barrels. It was nice to see them together. Stan's grade 3 20ga. lifter is just beautiful.
