Thanks Greg.

Great animals Ken!!! Well done!!!

Nice animals, Ken. Glad you had much success and that the hunt went off without a hitch.

Congrats on the great hunt and safe return, Elks.

Nice pics.

That kitty is exhausted. How long did she chase you through the brush before she just layed down and gave up?.

Rule #1 for African Safari: "CARDIO".......(same as for Zombies)

Jealous here. Id like to tip over one of them bizarre azz hyenas and get it mounted some day.
And shoot me a crocodilly.
But then, how would I feel if I was just sunnin' myself, and some foreigner bus'ed me in the noggin?

...not good at all.

Funny you mention that. I shot my gemsbok right where I meant to...only to have it still on its feet 10 minutes later.
It was the only shot I had after 3 full days of chasing them.
Crazy tough animals!

Congrats on a great hunt buddy! That big ole grin your wearing in all of the pictures says it all! Glad you made it back to the good ole USA safely too,

Point A: Ya need ta be wearin' your trademark hat under all that summer sun!

Point B: I don't know how you got out without Judy - 'd bet you know how THAT little escapade would go down if I tried it on "The Warden"

He!! - she'd probably leave ME at home!

Some more lioness pics.....




The thicket she was in.

Another view of the thicket. The brush was broken so she could be pulled out as can be seen by the drag marks.


Random pics.



Jackal.

Kudu bulls around the watering next to the lodge.


A young giraffe.

For some reason oryx give me "buck fever." Was 25 yds away from the lioness,I was calm,cool,collected,but oryx give me the shakes. Go figure.

Say so because Friday morning,we got on a herd and after getting on the sticks the PH decided to get closer. Well,while getting closer my hands started shaking uncontrollably. I tapped the PH on the shoulder and showed him my shaking hands. He just smiled. The evening before I missed another oryx at the range of 70 yds or so. Shot right over it. Which is why the PH wanted to get closer to the oryx on Friday morning.

While chasing the wounded oryx I decided that hunting oryx will be out of a while. I can do without "buck fever."

I know the feeling.

Even after killing 15 or so elk, I still get the shakes every time one is in my sights. Deer, antelope and other critters get me excited, but elk are on a different level.

One can say that I am obsessed.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. Did your PH bitch about packing your couch around for you. 😂 great work thanks for sharing.

Nope,the trackers did that for me. Gave them a dollar tip each.

LOL, You got the fever, glad I fall to crap after shooting, also happy you were able to recover all animals.

I'm kicking the stall doors wanting to go back, BAD! it's an affliction.

More like an addiction,with no known cure.

Yes, either or, affliction...........suffering, distress, sorrow and torment.

True.

Now all I'll hear from my wife is "Can't buy that cause we are saving money to go back to Africa."

Ken,

You say that, like it's a bad thing !
