Thumbs up Congrats Dom!

Great pics and your follow up to TJ was excellent. Very informative and I like your respect for animals. Too many times I'm around guys that take and animal (big or small) and immediately it's: "What's next?" Hunting moves at a steady pace in Africa, and I wish I would have had more time to inspect and study each animal I took. Having been a professional Taxidermist for years, I never had the opportunity to study capes and skins in fresh condition. All I received were dry, salted, disinfected capes/skins that had lost their natural "living" tints, tones and subtle color in their ears, nose, eyes etc. I made it a point to inspect each animal I took but I wish I'd have taken a camera with a macro lens for taking very close pics of their living colors. I will next year for sure. What were the average temps in Namibia? It appeared to be a little warm and dry. Thanks for sharing your hunt and congrats on your success. Good hunting, grayghost
