| Zebra in the East Cape near Durban, RSA after a long day of stalking other animals and having those stalks busted several times by skiddish zebras. I was glad to shoot the nice stallion that was more interested in a group of mares than us walking over a ridge top.

| Impala - 40 minutes; RSA/Limpopo. The next morning less than 30 minutes into the walk and stalk we came across a big Kudu bull and I thought "This is too easy". Five days later we finally bagged one. |

| Impala, near Ellisras RSA. Shot about an hour after my arrival in camp, the evening of my first day in Africa. Still wearing my travelling duds from the flight over. We had just sighted in the rifles and went for a short drive to use up the last of the daylight before the first official day of hunting the next day. Don_G took the picture IIRC....  Cheers, Canuck

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!

| My first animal in Africa was a jackal that was called in by Lochi Lochner. It was a great way to start the hunting trip. |

| Blue Brindled Gnu on the Bubi River, Lemco, Lowveld of Zimbabwe with PH John Greeff in July of 1994!
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!

| Impala RSA followed up by a Duiker 2 hours later followed by a bushbuck 2 hours after that. 3 animals on the first day. Damn animals kept walking out so I kept shooting them.

| Gemsbok, Namibia. After a 2 hour stalk shot it quartering away at about 50 yds. with my 35 Whelen. It went 20yds. I recovered the bullet under the hide of the off side shoulder. I take the remains of that 250gr. Partition with me now whenever I hunt anything. |
