Did you hunt 1x1 or 2x1? We went 1x1 just to avoid any issues or hard feelings about "wasting" our time in Africa chasing down something the other guy wounded. We debated about it a lot, since a lot of the fun comes from hunting together. Since there were 3 of us, one would have had to hunt solo anyway and we decided we could share experiences each evening.
Jorge and Moe shot blesbok, but I decided I didn't want one. Something about the white faces reminding me of herefords...

Yah, the Gemsbok were cool. I really liked that and the Kudu, which I passed on both on this trip. It was jsut getting a little too expensive.
Brent took a nice Kudu and he was the only one that killed a warthawg. Thats why there was no Hunttalk hat on it
One of the smaller animals anyone took was the Springbok. Here was mine. while driveing back to camp we ran into the other guys so we all jumped in for a picture :

Cali. We hunted 2:1 and 1:1. There was 5 of us with only 4 hunters and 3 PH's. Ladd was there jsut for pictures and he took turns going with different people. We actually all swapped up every day to have experiences with each other . It was a good time. I think a Little Video is going to hit this thread in a few. I jsut talked to Ladd and he's uploading it to Youtube.......
Crikies Mate, I think we have some Comitary from the Croc hunter

Well, I did buy a Gay Mens magazine and put it in Ladds carry on baggage in hopes they would find in going through customs. Unfortunately they didn't and I had to point it out to him in Denver before we got on the plane to Boise. It was Funny as Hell to see his reaction Everyone was like "What the heck is that Ladd?!?!" but we were all in on the joke. You have to love friends and good jokes

Moosie shoots a gigantic giraffe because he's trying to compensate for something....
His new pickup line should include something like, "Hey, do you want to see my giant giraffe?"
Good job to all who went and stacked up on the African game. Very nice, I must admit.

Frickin' hillarious. Leave it to Moosie.

g. How I made my husband beg - by Mrs. Moosie
h. How to find hunting happiness and stay married - by Moosie
Great job Moosie. I hope the fact that we are all jealous makes it easier to tolerate the certain thrashing Mrs. Moosie is currently administering.
Very cool.

That's going big for sure. I guess you can recarpet the house or something like that.
