| This thread is great. I'm really surprised at how many have shot DG first instead of the obligatory impala, springbok, etc.
I meant to be DSC Member...bad typing skills.

| First was a wing shot, guinea fowl near Maseru, Lesotho in 1970. Finally got to big game in Zambia, the Mulobezi with Piet Swanepoel in 1984. Sable was just over 45" and made a beginner African hunter. Regards, Tim  |

| This has been a fun post to follow along on. Thanks to everyone for responding. I am really surprised how many people started off with a Big 5 species. Kudos to you! I am jealous; I still don't have any of the Big 5. Hopefully someday and I hope it is sooner than later. Back to the Dark Continent in 45 days. |

| Great photo of the zebra.
The hunting imperative was part of every man's soul; some denied or suppressed it, others diverted it into less blatantly violent avenues of expression, wielding clubs on the golf course or racquets on the court, substituting a little white ball for the prey of flesh and blood.
