Lindon,

Wow! Seems like you are having a great season.

If I could figure out how to get my wife to not divorce me, I would love to shoot a big leopard (and have another go at a big buff).

I plan to get my hip replaced this winter and hopefully, I will be able to follow the tracks better.

Thanks for sharing.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Hi slider
It can depend on the size of the group of bulls that we would follow sometimes only two or three sometimes there can be twenty or mor bulls. Also sometimes we don't catch up to them in a day.
