Well 2008 was another great trip for me to the Limpopo area of South Africa. Again I have unforgettable friends, memories and pictures for a lifetime of stories. My girlfriend cannot understand my passion for Africa, hopefully one day she will.

Sniper: I have a cure for your girlfriend. You MUST take her, just once, to Africa. That's all it will take, I promise you. On another note, what great trophies and stories on your third successful hunt to South Africa. I know what it's like to shoot the same animal twice. I have done that on a hippo and on a warthog. The hippo was "re-shot" three days after the initial shot, and the warthog two days later. On both re-shots, we didn't realize that they were the same animals until we examined them. It's crazy, but it's true, and IT DOES HAPPEN. Congratulations once again.

Sniper you are one lucky bugger to shoot a bushpig in the day there is not a lot of hunters that can say that.

Second that on the bushpig! He is a sod... congrats!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

I don't remember the measurement but it will make Rowland and Ward. We watched them and talked back forth about what to do for about a minute before I shot. This was also the first time he had come across them like this in the daytime.


I hope you gave him a huge tip for kicking your but because there is some mean okes in the pub there that will if they found out you didn't shoot a bushpig like that LOL

Here is how it played out.

Tino: Holy Shat

Me: What?

Tino: Look at that bushpig. You should shoot it now!

Me: Is that a good one? I had never seen one before.

Tino: You will probably never see a bigger one and definitely not in the daytime.

Me: I don't know, what do they taste like? lol

Tino: Shoot it or I am going to kick you in the pants!

Me: Alright I am going to shoot it, lol, BANG! It never knew what hit it!

Tino: Do you know what you have just done?

Me: Uh shot a bushpig?

Tino: Not just a bushpig, but a BUSHPIG in the daytime! This never happens! You lucky b#sta$d!


Terry.....does this exchange sound familiar or what?!

Sniper....well done mate, very well done! Rudi is spot on about everything!!!!!

Charl:

Sounds like some other hunters I have heard of, but if you will remember, you only had to point out our Bush Pig and I killed it immediately.


Remember, forgivness is easier to get than permission.
