Chobe Kudu Pics - Part 1
After my hunt in Namibia I travelled to Chobe Park and took a bunch of pictures. Here's some of the kudu we saw.

Outstanding photos!

The skull/horns in the sand of the dead kudu simply screams "Africa!". I came across a similar sight while walking about a game lodge just a few miles north of Windhoek after our hunt last June and snapped this photo:

Thanks for posting those nice pics, DC Roxby. I've been back just a couple of months and already I'm beginning to pack my bags up for my next trip. Can't wait 'til then.

I think that Africa and its wildlife are the most photogenic of all the continents. Here's a pic I took of some kudu horns...the kudu, long dead, next to a hole in a log where something lives.

I missed the most amazing shot at Etosha. We took a bunch of shots of lions and then moved on coming across some giraffe. One of them had something in his mouth, that at first looked like a big piece of aloe plant. I pulled out my binoculars, and figured out that he had a long gemsbok horn in his mouth! He was chewing on a piece of the skull that was still attached. At times it hung from his mouth like a cigar, other times he would point his nose straight up in the air trying to reposition the horn. Would have made one heck of a picture. Only problem was that 20 minutes before I had dropped the camera knocking the power knob off.....
