Mullet Update

For those of you eagerly awaiting news on Mullethunt '07, we've got an update. For the first time in my mullet-hunting experience, a fellow hunter has made an extraordinary find beyond the borders of the U.S.
Aussie Clare sent me this photo, which she explained she did not take herself. However, I'm giving her credit because she had the keen eye to spot it:

Usually we take great strides to protect the identies of mullets after they are tagged and set free. However, this mullet is in the public eye, and therefore used to the close scrutiny and not likely to turn violent.

This handsome fellow is Warrick Capper, former player for Aussie football team the Sydney Swans. (Swans?)
I am informed that Mr. Capper is now going into politics, I'm guessing in the hope that those golden locks (evidently provided by several boxes of Clairol) will contribute greatly to his political platform. I do hope his bangs do not impede his political progress. Go Warrick!


Next, we have the Italia Mullet, called so because it was spotted in a nice local Italian restaurant. This was definately a team effort, as it took no less than 6 mullet-hunters to capture. In truth, only two of us were successful, as this mullet proved to be wild and a bit crazed, which we attributed to finding itself so far from it's natural habitat.
Justin first captured this blurry shot using his zoom. Notice the full curls protruding from the cover. This mullet appears to be attempting to blend in, as it's not under a typical camo cover. However, the muscle shirt, unfortunately, negated any blending in attempts. However, while it stuck out like a sore thumb, this mullet turned out to b
e a hard capture.


Travis made this second capture, slightly clearer, but again from the back. This was turning out to be the hardest hunt in recent mullet-hunt history. It was clear that this mullet just didn't want to be caught, and we'd decided to cut our losses before someone got hurt.


However, upon exiting the restaurant, we were all 6 faced with the unthinkable - the mullet, there in all his glory - and Justin was the only one to have the presence of mind to caputure this, the Holy Grail of mullet-hunting - a full-body frontal.
