Mark told me a story about how the kudu got the blaze on his face. Apparently the old time Zulus tell the story and it's been retold for a long time....a very long time.
When God made the kudu out of clay, as he did with all the animals, he held the kudu by the muzzle and then blew the breath of life into it. Where gods fingers were left a white blaze.
A touching story and one I'm glad he shared.

This has been a great read. I really like the "in progress" reports... sort of like reading a man's journal. Thanks for sharing!

This was the first time I have had the opportunity to read this. Excellent story and I would think that others would appreciate reading about your trip.
Unless I missed it, how about some equipment spec: bow, arrow weight, broadhead...Thanks

I found this searching "border". Must have been "borderlands" in one of the posts. I'm glad I found it. I read every post.
Thanks

To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

OMG. I wanted badly to go back before, as we only had 1 week 5 years ago. This thread sure stirred some memories and whetted my appetite to do it again. Hope my sons strike it rich so they can take me this time
