I wouldn't have been there if you couldn't....lol
African hunts are still an amazing bargain and the level of service is unmatched.
Hunting with Jack Russel's??? didn't know they were good for the big stuff
They don't actually use them for hunting but for following wounded game. They are amazing once they get on a blood trail. They love getting their photo taken as well and jumped in every picture whether we used them or not....lol

Sounds like a great trip! I especially like Vanessa's warthog. When a trophy has something distinct about it, like that warthog's broken tusk, or my partner's buff with the broken horn, I think that makes an exceptional trophy.
Get busy and start writting us a detailed account of your adventure.

Ya, I agree Boomer, that broken tusk adds real character. She made an awesome shot on that fellow too....taking him right between the eyes. In the long grass, it was the only shot she had. The skull will make an awesome addition to our memories of Namibia.

It's a kudu. It and the gemsbok are the two plains game animals that rated highest on my list. Vanessa tagged out first with this incredible 50" beauty and I had to wait until the very last afternoon to score on a kudu. Just be warned that there is a tradition of eating raw liver after the kill!
Excellent pic's - Looks like you had a great trip.
So, have you got your return trip in the works already?
Ya, Boet just secured a new buff/elephant area in the Caprivi that hasn't been hunted for 10 years so I'm trying to figure out how to get back there this fall for buff. We'll see how generous the bank is feeling......
Ya, actually all of the meat except what we ate in camp went to the local people. So too does much of the money from trophy fees and the licence we bought to hunt in the conservancy and our outfitter pays a hefty fee to the conservancy for the right to hunt there as well. It's the only source of income and protein for many of these people.
We took the school supplies over through SCI's blue bag program and it was very simple to do and makes such a difference in the lives of these kids. The teacher said it was more supplies than they'd had in the past 50 years.
