They are my photos, I had not posted them to my recollection. The possibility exists I sent via PM to other folks that took the liberty to do so..
Other friends and family had seen them, and the hunter was sent photos via email prior to getting his skull returned. The photos were not evidence, nor were they a controlled substance! Or Illegal to posess. As I said earlier if they were on the internet they got there without my knowledge.
It's such a feeding frenzy over nothing. I wanted to share something I though was amazing. Live and learn. Guess who losses out with the collection of trophies here? Not me, I have them or the many pass through here
But with this reaction, it's just easier to keep this awesome natural history information to myself. If you thought seeing a simple photo was cool, imagine now what's not going to be shared.
Some of the skulls that came through this business were so amazing, a company in LA called
Kronen osteo made polyester resin casts of them and now sells the reproductions. This was a big part of our business for zoo animals and endangered species too. The selection of comparative anatomy skulls here is significant. It's likely one of the largest private collections in the world. Jay villemerette has the largest collection, Henry galliano owned nearly as much.
This was never intended to become some weird pissing contest. Too bad Todd, you can feel great about your disruptive nonsense here, but you just screwed everyone else out of having this unfold into an amazing series of spectacular trophy skull photos!
