Chikwa
It’s been a busy season. Just for everyone not to forget me, here’s a photo from a recent safari I did in the Chikwa concession. Not many places can match the quality and quantity of the big game in this concession.

Big congrats!

What did the ivory weigh?

Already I was beginning to fall into the African way of thinking: That if
you properly respect what you are after, and shoot it cleanly and on
the animal's terrain, if you imprison in your mind all the wonder of the
day from sky to smell to breeze to flowers—then you have not merely
killed an animal. You have lent immortality to a beast you have killed
because you loved him and wanted him forever so that you could always
recapture the day - Robert Ruark

Thanks Carl.

Yes was a good show. Baboon meat was actually fine. But had a slight bitter aftertaste.

The length of the nerve also plays a major role in the overall weight.

My conservative guesstimate is 60lbs (+/- 2lbs)

The full skin croc went 14,2 and the skull one would have been mid 13 but has 2 feet of its tail chopped off.

Congrats on a very successful safari!

Those bulls are fantastic.

My next Buffalo hunt will be in the Luangwa valley for sure.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

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."

'quite a good area'

The prime Luangwa blocks are some of the best in Africa mate

Well done Thor
