I thought he was doing the leopard hunt as commonly done back then, chasing with hunting rig. The leopard focused on him and jumped into the high seat!!! Yikes!

Mark was my hunter and I had my lechwe as # 2 for quite a spell and even have picture in record book. That was first of 11 trips for me (1985). Alister and his lovely wife Pauline spent one night with me in Missouri. He damn certainly deserves his reputation, he worked hard for it.

So true, Darin. Congrats on your success!

I had a chance at them in the Caprivi when hunting with Vaughan Fulton in 2009. He asked if I wanted one. I said sure, I guess so.

We were primarily hunting elephant and buffalo. But a few days later, we saw a beautiful red lechwe ram on the banks of the Chobe, unfortunately on the Botswana side.

I casually mentioned how beautiful he was and how things would be different for all concerned if he was in Namibia, on our side.

Then I off-handedly asked Vaughan what the trophy fee was.

Vaughan: "$4,000 US."

Me: "You've gotta be sh#ttin' me?!"

Vaughan: "No, Mike, I'm not sh#ttin' you."

Lechwe hunt over!!!

But they sure are lovely.

Darin,

I had the pleasure of hunting with Ronnie in 2008.
It was truly a pleasure to spend 10 days with Ronnie in the bush.
He told me at that time this would be his last hunt.
We hunted hard and were rewarded with this 49" old brute....and a Kudu!
See you soon.

Steve
