Animal heads go into storage

A former oil and gas firm boss has amassed a massive collection of stuffed animal heads from years of big game hunting around the world.

Now Jack Wahl is putting his collection into storage as he moves out of his Tucker’s Town home and looks for a smaller property.

Mr Wahl, 88, shot big game around the globe and his collection of mounted heads includes buffalo, deer, bear and a warthog.

He has been big game hunting in Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana and in Canada.

He said: “It’s nearly everything that is worth hunting in Africa and northern Canada.”

The retired oil and gas man, originally from Canada, has lived in Bermuda for more than 30 years and had his collection on display at his former home in the exclusive enclave in the east of the island. n
