CAR Trophies, 2008

Hello there

My friend professional hunter Thierry Labat has recently returned from his yearly excursion to the CAR, where he hunts for Andre Roux. Once again, Thierry and his clients enjoyed tremendous success. On one particular safari (with John Scur from New Zealand), the hunters accounted for an amazing 16 species, all of which were excellent trophies. Included in the final tally were a fine yellow back duiker and a red river hog, most elusive quarry indeed.
I am taking the liberty of posting a selection of Thierry's trophy pictures, for your interest. I know you will enjoy them.

Absolutely amazing pictures!!! I love the Cameroon/CAR species. And some of these trophies are incredible.

David, do you know if these are from all concessions, I am wondering how they did in the two along the Chad boarder this season.

I predict that when Bwanamrm sees these he'll be booking that LDE/Bongo hunt!

Thierry informs me that these trophies were taken in central CAR, not on the Chad border. Apparently, Andre Roux has temporarily stopped operating his border concessions due to unrest in that area.

I suggest you get hold of PH Thierry Labat on tlabatsafaris@zol.co.zw
He'll be able to help with all the relevant details.

We seldom get to choose
But I've seen them go both ways
And I would rather go out in a blaze of glory
Than to slowly rot away!

"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."

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.
