Who Wants To Buy Some Stuffed Animal Heads (For A Good Cause)?

By

This is what we’re talking about! None of this asset liquidation of boats named Bull or wives named Ruth business. I want bodies– dead bodies. Above the prized possessions of admitted Ponzier Shawn Merriam. More than 100 “wildlife trophies,” including Russian black bears, African bongos, zebras, collected by Merriman during his many safaris over the years, are being sold by the government with proceeds going to his bilked investors. Ray Hatfield, the guy standing next to Mr. Moose, who has mounted Merriman’s kills for some time now, is prepping them at Nature’s Design Taxidermy (Hatfield actually jumped the gun on this one, having started to sell the animals before a court order was obtained, but none have left the state so everybody can just chill). In the market for a helix- antlered kudu of Africa? Get in touch!

      My grandpa would flip if I brought home a pair of African bongos. He’s still pissed about the Civil War.

      “His safaris seemed excessive,” said Davis McCann, a former friend of Merriman’s who says he was conned out of $2 million. “He probably had enough heads to fill a semi-truck

      Looks like he was trying to re-populate Noah’s ark; I don’t think anyone told him they had to be kept alive…

      I wanted to see Africa, the unspoiled jewel of the wildlife world. I wanted to see rare and exotic animals from this hallowed, ancient land and kill them.
      I wanted to be the first kid on my block to get a confirmed kill.

      I’m betting a mounted and stuffed Merriman would take best in show.
