A buddy of mine is a heck of a hunter and has killed some fantastic animals. A jumbo bighorn sheep, a mountain goat, over 30 elk with a longbow, big whitetails, moose, caribou etc. Took him 3 trips to get his zebra and he told me he felt it's his greatest trophy.  I can confirm they are great to eat...but I DID have to comment on still tasting the jockey 😉
Congrats, Mike!

Excellent job Mike! And great post. I don’t know what’s going on out there with todays “hunters”.  I guess i missed all the wining but I’m getting the jist. I’ve had several friends either ask me about or invite me to go along on an African hunt. Alls I can say is SOMEDAY!! But for now I’m going to have to live it through friends of mine.

A little late to the party but congrats on a fine story and even better zebra trophy. Long quest and fine finish. I am not as good a hunter as some on here but remember posting a pic of a groundhog I shot in my backyard with the arrow in the back of its head (where I was intending) and several people told me it was inappropriate. Excuse me but this is a HUNTING forum regardless of the size of the animal. If one hunts there will be blood-we don't practice catch and release.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

I spent a month in Ellisras working on an animal inventory for a large concession. For payment I was given five animals.  That said, I could have filled a semi full of most of the desirables just by sitting on a bucket under a thorn tree at a trail intersection. The one animal that was on par or above the wariness of a mature whitetail was the Zebra. I never got close.  Honestly would have never thought that about the Zebra but it's true.  Great story and trophy sir!
