Cape gun to the East Cape
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!

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
