Beautiful pics! I like the turnback on that Springbok. Frank "I don't know what there is about buffalo that frightens me so.....He looks like he hates you personally. He looks like you owe him money." - Robert Ruark, Horn of the Hunter, 1953 NRA Life, SAF Life, CRPA Life, DRSS lite | |||

Frank and Arild, Thanks for the compliments. It was my first trip to Africa and I had a wonderful time there. I went with my brother and I got to confess that I made a mistake and 2 pictures are his (warthog and zebra). We are identical twins and I didn't notice the mistake until the pictures were already posted. I apologize.

Nice trophies. I certainly like the shape of that Springbok. Identical... I have never encountered anyone expanding their trophy photo list that way before. Most people have to get out of the picture. | |||

It was an honest mistake. I got my own zebra and warthog, but I didn't know how to post the pictures and my daugther picked the wrong ones. "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel envy, it's inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery" | |||

Thank you Frank. We really enjoyed it. You were very professional and knowledgeable about the area and the animals. You worked very hard. I am sure we will hunt again.

Great looking Kudu, congratulations! | |||
|
| One of Us |
thanks. Believe it or not the easiest animals were the ones that were supposed to be the most difficult. Kudu and Klipspringer were relatively easy, while The zebra which I thought was going to be easy turned out to be very, very difficult. Frank and I had to work very hard for almost three days to get a shot at them. There were plenty of zebras, but they were just very wary and difficult to approach. Anyway it was a great safari with a great outfitter and an excellent PH. Thanks everybody for the compliments.

You weren't joking when you said "identical" twins!!! Wow, I've never seen more identical! Heck, even your daughter has a hard time telling you two apart. Congrats on a heck of a hunt, and the hard ones are always more memorable. Good Hunting! SFH REMANUS DURUS CORPS! | |||

Beautiful trophies! Namibia is a wonderful hunting destination. BTW, it's pretty easy to tell you guys apart, you're the left handed one, your brother the right handed one. | |||

Steve, You are right. I am lefty and my brother is right handed. The only one who noticed it. You have a good eye. "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel envy, it's inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery" | |||

LOL. Don't have a good eye at all, just was in the firearms business for 32 years. Couldn't help but notice the rifles. | |||
