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... "...the left considers you vermin, and they'll kill you given the chance..." Bristoe

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

James Pepper: There's no law west of Dodge and no God west of the Pecos. Right, Mr. Chisum? John Chisum: Wrong, Mr. Pepper. Because no matter where people go, sooner or later there's the law. And sooner or later they find God's already been there.
