I hope all the vets in Zimbabwe are not too busy, need to make damn sure this animal is properly dead and then buried as deep and as quickly as possible.

Shame that Ian Smith didn't live long enough to piss on Mugabe's grave. Guess I'll have to do it for him... quite happily I might add.

“You have inherited a jewel in Africa. Don’t tarnish it,” Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere told Mugabe during the independence celebrations in Harare.
Too bad he threw away his chance, and the chance of the nation. He destroyed Zimbabwe.

I wonder if Sadam Hussein and Uncle Bob are comparing notes in hell. Both bragging about the Billions they stole from their countries, how many opponents they tortured and murdered, and how many mistresses they banged. Too more evil residents of hell would be hard to find.

Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.
What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances.

Tucker Carlson of Fox News just delivered a great commentary on Mugabe and US State Department officials who posted condolences on his passing. It was truly scathing, blistering. Worth watching and refreshing.

That's not entirely true. IF Ian Smith had not been thrown under the bus by Dickhead Wilson, Rhodesia could have had a good chance of a real democratic government. But he was lied to and fucked over by the UK, socialist movement and the UN enabling Mugabe to take over. Then watching the Queen toasting Mugabe is beyond nauseating.
Then pretty much the same thing happened in SA. If the West, UK and the UN had stayed out of southern Africa, the place could have turned out much differently that the shithole it is today. Liberalism and progressive socialism have destroyed this continent just like it is destroying the US now.
Zimbabwe under Smith was well on its way to being the first successful Democracy just as O1 states.
Ian Smith was a great leader...a great man. Read the book—“The Great Betrayal” sometime.
While Britain threw Smitty under the bus...the USA under Carter helped drive the final nails in the coffin and the UN played the role of vultures on a freshly abandoned carcass.
My Dad spent some time in Zimbabwe in the 60’s doing some range management work under Savory...it was an amazing country then...surpassing the USA in many ways.
