I had a 21 day hunt but could only stay 14 days. Was able to get my lesser kudu, fringed ear oryx, cokes hartebeest, zebra, grants, buffalo, impala,dik dik and a really nice leopard on the next to the last day. I saw four different leopards only young males and females and also saw four male lions all to young oldest 4 years at the outside. I will post more pictures if I can.

The buffalo was shot in a very dense thicket and after the first shot Could not see him even though the shot was only 20 yards and as We approached he tried to get up and i wanted to do a classic right between the eyes but his head ask for the nose so he got it. We saw several lions but all were between 2 and 4. I have some more pictures and if people don't mind a lot of pictures i will post some of lions and leopards on trail cam.
I am hesitant to post to many pictues as people may not really want to see but they are decent trail cam photos for those interested. This is a reconix camera and I was totally impressed with it

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick. And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too. May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep. May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip. -Seth Peterson

Great hunt, great pics, and it's great to see some familiar faces in the photos. Sai Toto, the Game Scout with the eagle eyes and Rama, my ass't tracker in 2009 who got chewed up by a rabid honey badger. Great people. I love that place. You're a lucky man to have hunted Kitiangare. We both are. Good job!
