I can't believe I missed this thread. I am so glad someone asked about Africa and this thread link was posted today. I have spent the last couple hours reading it thru.
What a great story. As others have mentioned, it kept me on the edge of my seat, literally. I found myself speeding up in the reading as your heartbeat sped up. And I slowed down as your heartbeat did as well. Kicked back some when you kicked back and watched or took photos. And right back on the edge of my seat when animals you wanted came in.
I ofund myself telling the animals (out loud) turn, turn just a bit. Then some would turn and bolt and I would find myself thinking "it heard me!!!" I spoke to loud and I spooked it for you!!!!! I found myself with tears in my eyes with your Zebra and Kudu. The emotion you felt was truly felt and seen in your writing and the photos of you walking up to and touching these magnificent animals.
The story and hunt would have been great in itself if it was only the lioness. And the porcupine..............very much an example of God having a sense of humor and imagination.
I have wanted for so long to go to Africa. I would be completely satisfied with hunting wihth my camera. But now I have a real burning desire, as many here do since this adventure, to take my bow with me.
Now that, is a testament to the great writing you did. Great photography for m you and Antoine. Amazing all the way around.
Thank you for sharing this and putting us right there beside you. You are an amazing storyteller.
Please share more hunts with us.
Any mounts back yet?

DeadeyeDeb,
Thank you for the kind words. I enjoyed reading your post above.
In reference to your question, I just received notice today that they are ready for shipment. Their was a permit issue that has now been resolved. The porcupine has been mounted there and the rest will be done over here. It's been awhile since I've seen them all....... can't wait to take a look inside the crate....
Thanks Again!

No, I'm a total slacker on the video....can't believe I haven't put it together yet. I've captured it from the camera, but just hadn't taken the time to work it up yet.....I'm going to seriously try to put something together one of these weekends very soon.
It's hard to believe it's already been close to a year and I haven't done it yet.....

Wow! I sure wish someone would have shown me this earlier......I found it this evening and have been reading it for a couple hours at least.
I am going to South Africa next summer so this was perfect for me right now. I'll be reviewing it over and over until I go.
If you get the video done, please let us know; I would certainly buy one. I have a couple from Dries Visser already.
