I'm at Leopard's Valley Safaris enjoying some Johnnie Walker Black with Dave and having a great time. My little Cape gun is unbelievable. This old dog was very luckily hit at a measured 250 yards running. I surprised myself with a great Hail Mary, for sure.

Thank you Saeed because I'd have never met David without this site and all the friends I've made here.

Ain't Africa great!



JudgeG ... just counting time 'til I am again finding balm in Gilead chilled out somewhere in the Selous.

It was a great TEXAS erm .... PORTUGUESE HEART SHOT rotflmo

At least this one didnt charge the PH dancing

It was great having you here for the 2 days, riding around looking at game , drinking beer and smoking cigars at the fire with a good scotch solving all the world and AR`s PROBLEMS.

Wonderful to be using such a classic gun in the area it was intended for. Just adds spice to the safari! Bad day for mr Baboon.

Hey Marty ,Its a pretty small target at 250yds. . . the rump I mean archer
animal

The Judge dropped 2 baboons in 2 days both running , both opportunistic . I think its a little more than 50% skill Wink

Just got back home, dropped the Judge Off at PE airport 3 hrs ago, so he should be home in a day or too.
It was a great pleasure to have him here for a few days, lotsa stories and lotsa laughs.

Ernest,

I do believe that baboon was a kamakazie. He ran into the bullet. animal

Good shooting,

Mike
