Hey Joe,
Congrats on getting a very clean, compleat example that's right as rain! So much nicer than many that you see out there. My only suggestion is that you resist the temptation to carry the thing when you visit the zoo. Philip |

Giraffe Hunting
Joe,
In pursuit of your interest in giraffe hunting I dug up an article on the subject. But first the Alamy pics you show have it all wrong. No swords or camels involved. Runned down on horseback and hamstrung with a spear. Great and detailed article by Ian Cunnison. Giraffe Hunting Among the Humr, Sudan Notes and Records V.39 (1958). Available via Jstor if this link doesn't work. file:///Users/edhunley/Downloads/SNR%20V.39%20Cunnison,%20G.%20Hunting.pdf Also, a lesser article by R. Davies of same group. SNR, V.2 1919. ELEPHANT AND GIRAFFE HUNTING IN THE HOMR TRIBE (SOUTH-WEST KORDOFAN. Take care, Ed |
