WOW.  A great trip, with some great pics as well.  Congratulations to some lifetime memories and beautiful trophies as well.
Most religions teach that you earn salvation by keeping rules. Jesus didn't teach that "good people" go to heaven. He taught that "forgiven people" go to heaven. And He invited everyone, no matter what their past, to come to Him and be forgiven.

Great story. Thanks for sharing.

Don't feel bad about the warthog...they are TOUGH! I shot one 3 times also (with a compound). Same as you...first shot would've killed her but I to use two more arrows to speed it up.

One other note. Your bows must be QUIET. Would you agree? You shot a lot of "quick" and "skittish" animals and made good shots.
