The first thing we did was site in the rifles

Checking the target

It looks good - let's get started hunting!

Tracking Al's warthog - they are persistent little guys!

Nice Kudu - everyone admiring it and talking about the shot.

Here come the trackers - they drive up to where the animal goes down.

Henk did such a great job in capturing the hunt on video and pictures!

You can see how the animals are loaded up in the back of the truck. Sometimes a rope is needed to pull them up because of their size.

The tracking dogs -- I will remember Jesse in particular!

One day David sat in a blind for his wildebeest

It is dry brush all over spotted with these green trees called Shephard Trees. Cobras like to hide in them too

We were amazed at the size of the termite hills. Some were taller than a man.

The vehicles that we used.

Getting ready to start our day.

We were amazed at the ostriches running ahead of us on the road.

The land is pretty rough with lots of thorn bushes this time of year.

Cape Buffalo taking a good look at us. Saving this for another trip!

We hunted around waterholes in the morning and in the evening.

We saw all kinds of animals.

On all day hunts in the field, we take a noon siesta time. Here you see how Jenny got the nickname "Handkerchief"

David taking a little snooze after lunch

Afternoon lunch under an acacia tree by a waterhole....absolutely delightful! It was supposed to get to 97 degrees but with a slight breeze and no humidity it felt much less warm.

Al took advantage of a little down time too.

Early morning stalking to the waterhole

We hunting in various ways -- stalking, in blinds & also a South Africa 'deer stand' by a water hole

As we were driving along we came upon a waterhole and saw these rhinos.

A herd of Wildebeests crossing the road ahead

At the elephants

Jenny got us matching tshirts that said "The Adventure Begins"

Jenny getting a slobbery kiss

Very wirey tail

A lot of wrinkles - no sweat glands
