Thanks Curt.

Ron, You might as well bring Roger along with Ray when you come down. There is no way I could wear my wife's shirt, but don't worry Roger.... We'll leave the light on for you. DUH! LOL

[ron bergeron]

ouch!!,  this is starting to get good 8^) I want to know whos going to keep score???  

[Ray Lyon]

I'm the bean counter of the group, so I guess I'll take on the scoring duties. I've got a special calculator I'll bring along too.    

When I first started out bean counting I used a pencil and a big eraser.

After I got my feet wet a little I graduated to a mechanical pencil with a little eraser.

Then I got a little smarter and more experienced and switched to a bic pen.

Finally, I got real smart and the top of the heap, so now I use a feather quill/ink well and a little sand dust. NO ERASERS ALLOWED.   :D

[Roger Norris]

Ron, Ray,.....how thr hell does Denny know about the porchlight incident!!????

   

Ok Denny, you don't have to wear your wifes shirt, but would it be OK if I wore Ron's underwear just for good luck??

[Dsturgisjr]

Roger, Are you going to wear the ones with the brown stripe?

[zwickey2bl]

Great animals, Denny. Sable are my favorite - what a beautiful animal they are. I've been to Africa a few times but not hunting yet. Hopefully some day...

[JC]

Wow, just dropped in to look around and see you had an awesome trip! That waterbuck is astonishing....those and nyala are my dream animals. Can't wait to see the video.

[Mooseman]

 Very nice Denny. One day when I grow up I hope to hunt Africa a little.

Could you do any stalking?

[Dsturgisjr]

Mooseman, Stalking, you bet. I spent several mornings stalking. Always get into animals, but not always what I was after. Sometimes too many animals also, just have to lay there and wait for them to move. We bird hunted with the bows after I ran out of money and walked up on a bunch of animals then also. They don't care if you see a critter you want from the blind and go after them either. On some of the larger water holes this works pretty good.

[Mooseman]

Denny that would be the way I think I would like to hunt Africa. Too bad you can't call them in. Or could you?

[Dsturgisjr]

Here are some pics of my hunting buddy, Rich Niblock, and some of the animals he collected on our hunt.

 

   

   

   

   

[Ray Hammond]

if that first one is an nyala, its a big one! If you were to have to choose between Melorani and Ombengu, Denny..which would you pick for your first place to book to? I'm thinking about 2007

[Dsturgisjr]

Ray, Isn't that a cool nyala? They usually bell back out on top when they are that big. Rich's bull just grew straight. Ombengu isn't booking any hunters next year so I guess I'd choose Melorani. I've really enjoyed myself at both locations.

[Wile E. Coyote]

That is one serious Nyala!

[Ray Hammond]

that Hartebeest is no slouch, either! and the mass on the impala! Whew....I think I just decided where to hunt.

How are the kudu there, Denny?

[Dsturgisjr]

Ray, I never shot a kudu there because I already have a 55.5" and a 59". I saw some nice ones including a monster that I estimated at 60". Larry D. Jones shot the SCI, bow, world record kudu bull there several years ago.

[Roger Norris]

Can you imagine that monster porcupine in your outhouse?!

[Dsturgisjr]

Roger, That would be scary. Maybe Ron could wire up a switch for the Shrewhaven Outhouse especially for YOU! LOL LOL  

[Roger Norris]

 ..I walked into that one! ;O)

[Ray Hammond]

as long as you wiped the "right" way you'd be fine!
