WE're in Cape Town, leaving tomorrow afternoon for the long trip back to Houston. I had a great hunt with Katte, details to follow when I get back. My wife Sally keeps talking about coming back. This was a learning/management hunt with Katte, and I took 2 hartebeest and 2 wildebeest with the Hollis 450-400. I wasn't pleased with a few shots and we lost one of the hartebeest after a long tracking and rains came and washed away the tracks. This was my first real hunt with iron sights and I definitely need to practice my shooting more past 50 yds. Katte's Good Hope ranch was spectacular. We say quality animals constantly. We stalked rhino up to 40 yards or so for photos. The accomodations, staff, wildlife, scenery were all first class. I'll follow with pictures and more details when I get back. Bob | ||

 Would that be Katte of BASA fame ? "Man is a predator or at least those of us that kill and eat our own meat are. The rest are scavengers, eating what others kill for them."
