LOL.
I love that kudu pic. What a muscled-up bull. That broken horn will get him an extra few years of livin'.

Boy Nick, that old bull in the very last photo sure has a lot of character!

All in all, a wonderful slide show.

Thank you for the great pictures. The leopard just became the new wallpaper for my computer desktop.

Just goes to prove....

With some creatures, age enhances their beauty and dignity.

With others, ..... well, it takes sunglasses.

Nick, I can't tell which one of the animals in the last picture is the dead one.

Loud-n-boomer, how did you do that (wallpaper)?

Peter I e-mailed these to you also,

If you computer is a Windows machine,
1) Right Mouse Click on the Image and select "Save Picture as" -save it in a folder of your choosing that you can remember where it is and also the name of the image.
2) Open the folder (Windows Explorer or My Computer and select the folder you stored the image in) and double click the image. It should open in MSPAin or something similar
3) Select File-Save As and select Windows Bitmap or .bmp and save the file in the Windows Folder
4) Close the Paint program
5) with nothing open (No Windows) Right Mouse Click on the center of you screen and not on any icon, Select Properties from the list that should appear
When the next box appears there should be a list on the center right of your screen that says Wallpaper.
From this list select the file name of the file you just saved in the Windows folder. Click OK and that should do it

In the last pic is the "Ole Buff" the one with the sunglasses or the horns?

I don't think so, Ray. I've looked a number of times. Time to upgrade that sucker!

Thanks for the rating DaggaRon! and Thanks for the photo. I do recall this photo and it may have been an even better candidate for the "Ancient Ones". Guess I missed it on Rays' website. I really would like to have a decent photo of Ray and also George Hoffman.
Along with my regular photo collection, I keep select photos of the guys here and their trophies, including "RAB". Good Fun, I think.

Saeed:

How about a forum for portraits of the members who don't mind being seen?

It would be great to attach a face to a handle, especially if we ever get to meet at a convention/airport/match, etc.

Saeed,
the one thing I will never allow is for you to attach my face to my handle!!! [Wink]

DaggaRon, Nickudu:

You guys better watch out...

It's obvious from these pictures that when Ray shows up, somethin' gets dead....

Rick3Foxes,
Never thought of that! I'd better keep my eyes peeled while checkin' the north forty! [Big Grin]

BTW, I like your signature BWANA BE. It would make a good handle. [Smile]

rick3foxes

Thanks, Nick.

That handle is only good for another 7 days..... After that, I'm on the silver bird to BE a BWANA instead of a BWANA-BE!!!! [Wink]

Loved the photos!

Wow. Makes me wonder how long these things can live in the wild...

I guess the last(oldest) one has a bit of an advantage, being hand-fed & raised in captivity...

I've heard that when it is provoked, its roar can be heard around the planet!!

[Big Grin]

Speaking of "Wild" creatures, look what I found:

For cryin' out loud, Nick!!! That's the sable I wanted!!! I hope there's another one left...

I notice the name Jarad on your website - is that your son?

My son's name is Jared [Smile]

Rick.
