When I was in the Serengetti on Camera Safari we joked that the darn things were blocking the view.

Here's mine. Hartman's from Namibia. To the guy that thinks they are simply "in the way", you should try and hunt them. I shot nothing else for 4 days trying to get one. Saw lots of sign and knew they were there but couldn't get on one. Of course, I had the bow which made it a little harder. Just picking a little but these guys are tough to hunt!

Is zebra ever served while you are over there? If so, how is it? If not, what do they do with it?

When I shot my zebra in the Selous in 2004, we used him for lion bait. I'd post a picture of my zebra (I had him pedestal mounted) but (a) I don't own a camera and (b) even if I did, I'm not smart enough to figure out how to post photos here.

Cool pictures. A zebra will be on my short list when I go someday. The zebra taken by Kodiakisland looks more black with white stripes. The others look white with black stripes. What variety of zebra is his? Thanks, Dean

Zebra is definitely on my list for this year. Don't think I will have it mounted because I want the full backskin. Thanks guys for wetting my appetite even further.

Maddog, It looks like you and your group wiped out the "pyjama donkeys"...............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This stallion ruined a 2 hour stalk on Livingstone Eland, so he copped a 231gr Naturalis for being a kill joy

Cool pics. Zebra is at the top of my list for 2011. I am planning to have a full rug for the trophy. This stuff just helps me get my priorities straight.

Is zebra ever served while you are over there? If so, how is it? If not, what do they do with it? If you had ever seen the stomach worms that come out of one, I'd give it a miss. Though zebra is quite popular at Joes's Beerhouse in Windhoek

Just found this pic..........it really gives you an idea of the terrain the Hartmann's Zebra like to play in, being the Khomas Hochland in this case. The pic was taken from where I made the shot........the skinned carcass is right in the middle of the photo.

One of the best stalks I had in Africa was the Zebra. There were a lot of Leopard in the area we hunted in Zim and every animal stayed on automatic to run...but I got a eleven and a half foot rug out of it..I'm happy
