Rob  I look forward to the stories and photos. Looks like it was dry.  Lots of water hole action I would guess.  Rod

Rod it was very dry. it will take me a month to get all the dust out of my clothes and gear. my cameras will require some serious cleaning. the water holes were in deed productive. i will be getting the story started here in just a bit after a grab a little shut eye.

Joseph you done good! man do I feel better after a good night sleep. i'm waiting on the rest of the Red Arrow Crew to show up here on this thread so we can get things started.

probably the best way to make it flow is to do a day by day account.  as soon as i get the additional video tapes from Brady & Jon i will start putting together some clips to post. i have close to 40 hours of video to weed through and edit.

this photo shows the concession we were mainly hunting on. the little red arrow points to the main lodge/camp. i am standing on the Uchab Terrace which is the edge boundary of Sophienhof. there is a small strip of land between the cliff and the edge of Kudu Game Ranch which the main concession we hunted on. there is approx. 30,000 acres of land on these 2 concessions.

Etosha is flat hey? Big too, if you go to weathersa.co.za they have pics of the region and you will see Etosha and the Makgadigadi salt pans.Those mares look about ready to drop their foals. That is a great elephant note the thickness of his very worn tusks, will still have lots of weight. Beware of lions in national parks they are not scared of people! They can do 100 metre sprint in 4 seconds, not on astro turf on their own turf!
Namibia is a gem; empty, clean and wild.

Andy my son didn't make this trip but i'm planning on taking him back with me next year. this trip was mostly to do video work, although i did get to hunt the last 2 days.

with it being the first time on the hot seat filming the hunt i had some bugs to work out. i learned a lot on this trip that will help out on future hunts. we did get some really good footage however.

heres a few more pics:
the road leading to Afrika Jag Safari

   

some shots of the surrounding area:

Hey Guys, I'm here.  Just trying to get everything in order and get back to the "real world". Like Rob said we had a great time, and were able to kill a few nice animals as well.  Namibia is a great place.
