    Retired at 55, guided for another 10, no time off there. But now, I just kinda go when she's tired of seeing my face, she is loving Africa. Starting home tomorrow.

    Amazed how long legged they are, I'm guessing they are the most cautious of all the critters we encountered on a three week hunt. They leave a couple decoys near the bull and fan out flankers as far as 200 yards. Bark kinda like a cow elk and adios. Great pic

    The perfect elk rifle...

    Fast 33s get my vote, killed about 20 of the dang things with an 06, mom killed two with a 257 Roberts.

    Truth not allowed here

    I'm still in South Africa for a few days. Had a great hunt. This kind of stuff is loved by the PHs. They read this and howl with delight. WTF is wrong in America? They ask.

    Nyala, almost let him go, guide didn’t think he would go over 27 inches. He stepped into cover then back out. Guide said you better shoot him!

    Got a little close to this guy, not on license for me. 300wm seemed rather inadequate. No harm no foul.

    Sage Rat Shooting

    When I was a kid the ranchers used to pay us a nickel a piece plus 22 ammo. But it’s still fun. Don’t shoot the irrigation lines either. Tends to result in a negative response next time.
