Made my Sunday Morning. Thank you sharing your adventure with us all.

Thanks Saeed.
Great pics and trophies and the accomodations look really plush

Miles and miles of bloody miles and miles and a wonderful time was had by all!
Me too.

The little game looks like a version of Mancala. I have played it with two rows of cups but not 4. Is a fun game and purportedly for teaching the youngsters to count.

Great Pictures and Hunt Saeed, Not sure how you where so succesful because at the looks of the few bullets you showed they all failed, according to the bullet experts on this site!

Another good installment. Keep it up.

It just keeps getting better.

I want everyone to know the truth.

I did not cook the leopard bait as Saeed said.
It was HIS mistake. He told me the bushbuck was for leoprad bait. And the reedbuck was for a BBQ. The reedbuck was hanging on the right. The bushbuck was hanging on the left. Someone swapped them around. It could have been Saeed himself.
That is why he came late from his hunt that day.
He normally likes my BBQ. And comes early to make sure I cook his meat well.

He came off the truck asking about the vulture. How did he know we cooked the bad meat?

Wayne and Nelson, Paul and Dale all enjoyed pieces of that meat. They said it tasted "different".

Ha ha ha ha ha.

If they hadn't taken it off the fire I would have cooked it well done especially for Saeed. With all the lemon jiuce and Tabasco he puts on it he would not have known the difference.

I pure delight to read and view. Thanks for all the effort and super report...

I too believe you were the victim!

So now that screwup was just a dirty trick by Saeed?

I don't believe it!

Walter is talking like a Democrat now!

Apparently no one got sick, Walter ought to own up.

He may be forgiven, since he is "Walter One Shot" now, and there is hope he may straighten up in other areas of life: no more crossdressing, no more rotten meat BBQ's, etc.
Fart machines are O.K.

Walter: Saeed has spies. He would have known. He is on to your ways. If you are to beat him you will have to try to fix him another way, but you will have to be very clever and cunning to outwit him. Good luck, as none of us ever sees that happening.

I would like to see what Walter would do with that reptile on a stick for his BBQ?

Saeed,

they are excellent photo's as always. Are you stil taking the majority with the small Cannon IXUS?

The Suitutanga is awesome. I thought Nyala were ellegant but that is fabulous!!

Thank you once again Saeed for sharing your wonderful adventure with us. Love the reports and photos.

Congratulations to Walter on his MANY one-shot kills. Obviously he is learning from you.

Saeed your and your friends take marvelous photographs. I don't know how you find the time to take so many pictures and hunt too, but i'm glad you do. Many many thanks for sharing your hunt

Another excellent installment. Keep going, don't stop. With thousands of pictures. . . .

Saeed,
Thanks for sharing with all of us. I'm really enjoying the pics and the comments.

Saeed, if you don't mind, I'd like to know what you do with all the pictures you take of the Safari? Are you saving them electronically, on paper, or just deleting them all?

In my opinion some excellent photography of an excellent safari. Well done!

Saeed,

How big was the croc. Looks massive.

Reddy375

All photos are saved electronicall.

The croc was 15'1", and very wide and heavy. We originally thought it might be about 12-13 feet - we got misled by his girth.

Fantastic photos Saeed.



Cheers

WE have a slight advantage over those so called "experts".

As we design and make our own bullets for our own use right here in our workshop.

We have complete control on what we make, and these bullets have been designed for shooting buffalo in herds. So penetration should be sufficient, but not far enough to exit on quartering shots.

We used a slightly different bullet design a few years back.

Those would exit a buffalo bull on all angles except lengthways.

Another bonus seems to be that the bullets do expand very quickly as they enter the enimal, regardless of its size, creating quick kills.

On some animals we found that the bullets shed their petals about 6 inches after going in. Those petals shoot in different directions, creating more damage.

The shank continues to penetrate.

The eland we shot was over 400 yards away. And the bullet hit him in the shoulder, as he was angling towards us slightly. It stopped just under the skin on the other side, just ahead of his rear leg, as you can see in the photo.



So if you listen to the "experts", our bullets failed!

I found this statement true, never posted it because if it does not look like a magazine ad so posters freak out.

I use the TSX almost Exclusive even for small Florida Deer, I have had a few blow off petals but most just exit.

Do they always loose the petals?

Great report and photos, Saeed, as always.

Congratulations on a terrific safari!

Fantastic pics! Congrats on a great safari and thanks for sharing it with us.

Another safari to remember.

congratulation on what sounds like an epic adventure...

What a hunt to remember, super photos, great buff and what a sable. Hat's off to you gents.

Dirk

Please check the first post, I have added a few videos for your enjoyment.

Cool!

Thanks a lot!

What I like on your shooting, Saeed, is you take the animals in the way they come.

Excellent video clips - can't wait for the DVD !

Thank-you for sharing it with us

I tried to render the videos in a relatively high resolution and bit rate for better viewing.

The thing is, one has to make an educated guess so that the files are not too big to down load.

The originals were shot in high def, that is why those clips are 864x480.

I hope you enjoy them.

Don't forget to download the video of Walter having a farting contest with our game scout!

Saeed, Thank you for the videos and the story line.

Tim

That sitatunga video is my favourite so far! Thanks!

Very nice hunting, trophies and places Saeed.

But, for a best footage, you shoud tell to your cameraman to use manual focus and not autofocus.
