Go Daddy CEO Goes On Elephant Hunt, And Is Attacked By PETA. Video & Pics

[PegLeg45]

as M58 mentioned, often these areas have people litterly living on the land and what ever aid thier govment gives them.  A hunter spending 6 figures( and a elephant hunt is going to be 6 figures) split up among the local population, will drasticly improve thier quality of life.  not to mention the conservation factor, both in $$$ and in changing attitudes of the local populations.  it is also my understanding the meat is not wasted.

Watched a new show on Discovery the other night about taxidermy......... There was a ROF (rich old f**cker) that paid $18,000.00 for an elephant head....along with $5,000.00 for a whole-body African lion mount.

There is a guy that lives up the hill not to far from me,  He is a world class guy. most of his work goes to big name museums, but he does put price sheets, to the higher end gun shows and the safri clubs.  his full elphant mount is 100k.  I think its 3-5 for just a deer head.  Like I said he is a world class guy.

Mike Boyce is the best I have seen.

TAB is correct $100 K for a full size elephant is not out of the norm
$35K for a rhino.

That doesn't seem to bad.
After all, have you considered his overhead ?
Just the stuffing material would probably buy a new car.

Forget the cost of the hunt and mount. How much will it cost to buy a room big enough to put the damn thing in?

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

The guy who owned the WY ranch where i learned to work cows made his $$$$$ in vinyl siding in LA or SF. He was a youngish guy, had a trophy wife, and was an avid hunter. He had a house where he and his wife lived about 5 miles from the road, a nice patio, and to the side of the patio, had a trophy house. The trophy house was 40-50 feet square, 2 stories without a second floor or internal posts. Every square inch of the place was covered in stuffed heads and animals, including a full-size musk ox and buffalo, about 10 elk heads, wart hogs, deer, pronghorn, African antelope of a number of species, etc.

He sold the whole ranch to the WY National Guard a few years back - I always wondered what he did with the stuffed animals.

where I live, lots.


The permit and school fees alone would make most of you vomit. 

<3k sqft $47/sqft  3001-4999 sqft $52.80 sqft  5k-9999 sqft $58.30  10000 sqft $63 sqft,   Now thats just permit costs and school fees.

But what do you pay in property taxes compared to back East?

[TAB]

In ca thats very tricky to figure out.  if your under prop 13 basicly nothing, if not it can be alot.  There arelot of other things that can make it very hard to figure out your exact tax rate.

my countys average is $11.21/ thousand, they don't list what it is for homes. Thats every thing from million homes to 1 arce rec propertys and every thing inbetween. 


On average, just the tax with out fees or other modifers is 1.25% for the 1st year.  As things get reassests that can change drasticly.  Thats assuming you buy a house right now. 

we pay about 3% with all the other fees that are billed with property tax.   that does not inculde things like water, sewer, trash and any other services.

Our  services, fees, taxs and home owners are more then our payment.
