375hnhI think the impala is purposely holding his head closer to the camera to look bigger...sorry, I had to
Awesome pictures, the elephant looks pretty impressive too

L. David KeithI think that Impala was approached by an NFL agent that wanted him to replace the north goalpost at our stadium.

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

shakariGreat pics..... thanks for posting.
MacD37,
That's a (very fine) East African Impala aka Aepyceros Melampus Rendilis....... which have bigger horns than the southern.
World record for EA Impala is 36 1/8.

NzouGreat pics! Not a bad bunch of dagga boys. Nice old ellie, he must be pretty ancient, doesnt look too healthy though, looks pretty dry over there! I can't say I have ever seen an impala with horns like that!

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.

safari-lawyerIf you like hard bosses, deep curls, and wide spreads, I guess a couple of those buffalo are pretty nice.

Or he may be hoping she does. He has a look like he thinks the lion owes him money..to borrow a phrase.
Don't they ever figure out to charge a lion as a group?

surestrikeI wouldn't shoot that Impala. he looks to young and his bosses are still soft.
Sorry somebody had to do it.

zhabaWAY COOL
wouldn't it be nice if just for once they would wonder out of there and into a hunting block
03 September 2009, 14:19
BwanamichThe ele was seen in a hunting block, roughly estimated at around 70lbs on the heavy tusk. Ele permits in that concession are not available other than through a presidential license.

Aspen Hill AdventuresI was recently elected presedent of the eeniee annie oakly association. I beleive that makes me eligible to hunt that bull.
The inpala is stunning, he'd make a very eligant mount with his head turned like that.
