TINY TEN - COLOR THEM DONE!

Got my Suni in Moc last week, so now I guess I must complete the Dainty Dozen. It makes for a good reason to retun to the Cape, for Vally. The biggest downer (not really it adds to the venture) was getting stuck in the Limpopo both going and returning. The trip from Paluri to camp was 4+ hrs/ 100 miles. The road runs right up the Zim/Moc border and you cross back and forth fairly often - quick border crossing each time. Big Grin

DOJ - Glad you had a great adventure and completed your goals along with what sounds like a fun trip. A report and pics are in order I would think. Again congrats.

Well done! I am 80% of my goal of the Tiny Ten and hope to pick up my suni and red duiker next September in Moz and finish up there as you did. I think the little guys are a ton of fun to hunt and pretty darn challenging. Congratulations on a unique accomplishment.


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

Congratulations! I was wondering if you were back yet. This has been a quest for a while. It must feel good to have that itch scratched, but like poison ivy, once it's scratched, the itch can get bigger. Curious if you used your drilling on this trip.

"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."

Bfly, Yes the Suni was taken with the 16ga left barrel. I kept the front trigger set for the rifle which I used on the Red Duiker repacement for prior one lost in fire last fall. I have a claw mt scope on it but am having a bit of trouble, so it goes back to the GS soon.

Mike, not sure but would like to hunt the Royal.

Mark, I hunted my Cape Grysbok with Gary Tonks, but he no longer hunts. I do all my RSA hunting with Mark DeWet (I was to hunt the CG with Gary and Mark, but Mark took ill) and I am sure he could get you one. He posts on here, he will be leaving for Zambia at the end of this week but you could contact him now.

As to pictures if some one computer literate would aid me I would email them to you.

Biebs, Yellow Back, Bates, Maxwell, Zebra, Red Flanked etc. dancing
