Fantastic pictures Will, they make me really homesick, especially the ones of the bait/blind locs... Anyone popping their head into that bow blind would have thought it a Taliban hideout! Yes, I spot the lion, but took awhile. Note how Mr Labat's hands don't rest easy on the ladies' shoulders now that he's a married man...Like the cats he hunts, he has retractable claws...  Love that first shot of you and the lion. David | |||

Will - Thanks so much for the additional photos. Love it! Really love seeing what Sango looks like, and what your set-up looked like, and of course more pics of you shumba. Now I get a much better feel for what your safari was like. Come on, Saeed, Will definitely deserves a fifth star on this report! Glen | |||

Very nice. Once again, an incredibly successful safari. Congrats. I had to laugh at how sleepy Collen looked. I will give him some grief in Argentina in a couple of weeks. | |||

 Just noticed this...Larry, I'm not surprised Collen looked sleepy, he'd probably already heard the story 6 times! Just look at how Thierry is ear bashing the poor guy! | |||

Awesome stuff Will! Congrats to all involved!! 30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking. | |||

Thanks Brent and congratulations on the lightey. Maybe we will just have to come and see you at Nuanetsi. Will J. Parks, III | |||

Holy crap Will, that Lion is a PIG! Simply fantastic. What a hunt and to have your wife and friends there to share is a true gift. Way to enjoy life. Congratulations. | |||

Simply fantastic all the way around,thank you so much for the pics!!! DRSS | |||

Thanks Will - "lightey" is well. Some more nice pics of that sod lion!! You are welcome anytime at Nuanetsi. Hunts are going very well - we are 2 for 2 on the Leopard hunts (first was 7ft 1" & the second 7ft 5") both taken before dark!!! Brilliant considering these cats were generally the 'educated' calf killers of Zim's low veld. Labat would enjoy getting busy with some of the Mr Spots around here!!! | |||

That little elephant looked like Bama's BIG AL. Great hunt. | |||

Thanks for the additional photos Will. Looks like Chris had a bang-up trip as the "bait-shooter" with some really nice trophies. Boy, the lions really did a number on your Kudu.

Will, A great hunt that was a long time in coming! You did yourself proud! Excellent all the way around. I really enjoyed all the extra pictures. IMO, you can never have to many especially for this type of hunt! See you soon! Todd | |||

Will, The added photos are great! Glad to see you visited "Jorrum's Block" I have some memories stored from that area. Also glad to read you guys got on so many hard bulls, and that a proper buff! Many Thanks Brett | |||

not to take away from Will's good fortune, but, is it just the photo angle or is "Chris's waterbuck" an absolute pig? | |||

Very nice. A thirty incher shot right at dark on day one. Managed to crash into the crocodile infested water before he died. Good action, good show. Will J. Parks, III | |||

Will- Is there any news on Dennis? Was he at Sango and still cooking? If you recall, he fell while I was at Sango and had not returned before Cathy and I left. The only easy day is yesterday! | |||

Will, Congratulations on another fine safari. The Mokore pictures bring back good memories. | |||

The waterbuck is fantastic and so is Mr spots! He is a toad  Seeing a wild rhino must have been a highlight! "...Them, they were Giants!" J.A. Hunter describing the early explorers and settlers of East Africa hunting is not about the killing but about the chase of the hunt.... Ortega Y Gasset | |||
