Here is a very young me, and before I could really appreciate what I had just accomplished. Not the greatest photo, but you can see the length. He's sitting nicely on my wall. Great Vaaly. I saw a couple but none large enough. They will be my number one when I go back. I love the mountain game.

Kind of a toss up for me, between kudu, and eland. The kudu, as it was the very first critter I killed in Africa, and I couldn't believe the whole thing was happening.....just an awesome experience. The eland, as it was my favorite, and most satisfying way to hunt...cutting tracks, and following them. This bull was the last of several that we attempted to track, or successfully tracked, but passed due to lack of maturity. Walked quite a number of miles on the numerous attempts, and enjoyed them all. Jeff

This one is not the largest Springbok that I have hunted but is one that I will always remember. One thing I started doing lately is actually taking pictures of our hunts as most of my hunts was never captured on camera. Great thread Marius! Pieter
