The missing chapters

I've given you a beginning and somewhat of an ending but you are missing a few pages in between so over the next few days I will fill in some of what you missed. (My editor said that this will never sell if I kept it this short so hope you enjoy the extra fluff.)

This waterbuck was something the guys really had to work for. We were told he was one of the biggest ever seen (but perhaps we were just told that to make the hunt feel more worthwhile). He went missing for a time but luckily a baboon spotted the wanted poster attached to a tree and enlisted the help of a giraffe who helped pin down the location. Seriously, though, Jamie witnessed the tracking ability of his PH and tracker (which was quite impressive).

This one is a zebra (in case you don't have your Africa guide book handy). From the top of a hill, Danie spotted a blue wildebeest. They ran to intercept; but the wildebeest first sent impalas and later zebra to run interference. Unfortunately for the zebra, he had made Jamie's wish list prior to the game starting so I guess you could say the wildebeest scored.

This day we went to another ranch to hunt. The landscape was vastly different than the thicker brush of the "home" farm- it's openness resembles the Wyoming plain (if you don't count the ostriches, zebra and other critters roaming around). This black wildebeest was the first to be spotted. Danie, I apologize in advance for the smiling photo. I know how you like your funeral face for the poses most of the time.
