Enjoying the photos, keep them coming.
Ken, noticed the escalation in rifle power starting with the ‘06, now it’s the 460 for wabbits.
Wow!

klong: if you truly love to hunt, you owe it to yourself to go to Africa. You live once and it is not something you want to miss...cost be damned... Another teaser pic for you.... As I have told many others, it is seldom that you will do something that you'll remember the rest of your life, you'll do something every day on safari that you'll remember forever... Someday I'll get one of those bovines.

I'm not exactly dissatisfied ...but dont get very excited about a 350 class bull elk anymore...

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Ingwe, I do truly love to hunt. And I can't wait to experience Africa for the first time! That is a great buff!

Great photography. I like that armored critter that rolls up in a ball. Bet you don't have those in NM... DF

That pangolin came up and ate the bugs off of our boots. Just walked right up to us like he'd never seen a human before. I didn't have a clue what the creature was. I found out the were a very rare sight in that area at least, as the landowner said he'd only seen one in over 20 years. We also ran into a honey badger that had a skunk in his mouth, but I didn't have time to get the camera out.
It's an amazing place.

Looks like you let the air out of that one.
I've heard they're good eating.

Congrats Ken !
Are you going to be able to make it to Armijo Springs this year ?
