Gemsbok sticking, an excentric dandy

Here is a picture of Francois Dannaud, sportsman, hunter and hunting agent.
A truly demanding hunt that sticking gemsbok. Not a smooth ride to catch with him and guess which one is the most fit to stick his opponent.

Looks like it to me.

I took one with me to Namibia a couple of years ago. Thought it would come in handy as a last ditch weapon or poking into the thick thorns for a wounded duiker or caracal.

In my emergency daypack I carry a Minibushman, which I would like to try one of these days.

Judging by how lathered-up that horse is this was a no BS hunt! Kudos,

I can tell it was a tough hunt without even looking at the horse.

Just check out the hunter.

He was so overheated by the chase that he removed his jacket and tie and rolled up the sleeves on his white-collared shirt.

You're spot right, he is a real dandy, always elegant.
A neat guy in literal and figurative senses.

This agent is offering really unusual destinations such as Ethiopia or Uganda for example.
