Thanks for sharing this excellent report.

Thunder HeadAwsome,
I could almost hear the lions roaring sitting in my office.
I have walked in the foot prints of the elephant, listened to lion roar and met the buffalo on his turf. I shall never be the same.
12 September 2012, 02:57
surestrikeAWESOME hunt all the way around and congratulations on your lions. I must say however, being a tried and true buffalo man all three of Amber's bulls were top shelf especially the one on the left in the picture of the pair and the third one. I'd be willing to donate at least one small body part for those two bulls!
(No not that body part! ... like a pinky finger or something in that category!)

Awesome report & hunt Aaron.
I couldnt help but notice you went from "likely" your last hunt to "perhaps"....I gotta feeling we're gonna see your mug on here with another Lion in the future!

You would, if you had gotten blood all over your white shirt/pants - when helping to load your trophy. But, you probably just leave that to the other guys?

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......

hunt99Awesome hunt Aaron, thanks for sharing. Only one comment; you should have moved your lion pic down in the report to not give it away and add to the tension of the last day!
I hunt to live and live to hunt!

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

Bill CNice job all around Aaron. 3 weeks in paradise.
As elegant and wonderful as the East African safari camps are....I do like the fly camp!
IF this were to be your last lion, a walk-off homer is a pretty darn good way to go out.
