A few other trophies you missed. By the way, the topic of trophies needs to be discussed. Everyone refers to anything you shoot over there as a trophy. Now I have to say that I am old enough and wise enough to be very aware of this scam the people over there are running. We are all grown ups here and have long gotten past the need (for at least a few months now) to be given an "award" just for participating. Every animal may as well be adorned with a scratch ticket that says "you're a WINNER!". Yes, we know that we are ALL taking home trophies and thanks for raising our self esteem by calling them such; but at the end of the day the guys are still taking out their measuring tapes and...well, you know. Let's just say it. They are measuring. No tape measure handy? No problem, we will just use our hands or anything else that can be used as a measuring device to do the dirty deed. Yes, we are all going home with trophies. Thanks for making us feel good about that. I am a woman and will just be content with having fun. No trophies (or measuring device) necessary. Whew. Glad to have that off my chest.


Steinbuck and Duiker (contrary to what it appears, these are not babies but in fact full grown animals)

Don with his PH, Jaco (not to be confused with yahoo) and his black wildebeest







Mountain Reedbuck
(It is a shame that this reedbuck couldn't find a larger mountain to hide on. His horns gave him away in the end. The fact that they found him on that "large mountain" you see him posed next to is a testament to their sharp hunting skills.)





Another red hartebeest
