TINY TEN - COLOR THEM DONE!

Die Ou JagterTINY 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.

bwanamrmWell 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.

Black FlyCongratulations! 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.

It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

Die Ou JagterBfly, 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.

Die Ou JagterMark, 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.

Die Ou Jagterlvs, say Hi to Gary the next ime you see him. Tell him Buttercup is doing just fine, and I am also. Still need the Vally.
23 August 2011, 18:50
leopards valley safarisWil do "BUTTERCUP"
23 August 2011, 19:16
Die Ou Jagterlvs, I am not buttercup that is another PH, who can't stand the cold. I am DOJ. Fact is Gary gave me the "translation" of The Old Hunter which is the handle I used to begin with on AR.
24 August 2011, 15:25
leopards valley safarisSorry for the mishap. I took a great Vaalie in August with the guys from the Hunting show "Huntin with the judge" think he was 8 3/4"

Die Ou JagterThanks Dave. I call them my tiny ten of Southern Africa as the Sharpe was taken in Zim, Dik-Dik Namabia and the Suni in Mocambique and the rest in RSA.
26 August 2011, 02:13
Tom In TennesseeFor your Vallie, find Paul Shueman in east cape....got good ones....
Congrats on the Ten! I got ten but need the Suni for Southern Africa to count SA 10 and some weird duiker I can't afford to hunt for other tiny ten!
