How big were they? The answer to that doesn't really matter, I don't think they were ever properly measured to be honest. What we do all remember is that they were not shot out of a herd, and the excitement on the locals faces when we delivered the protein to the schools and clinics. We remember seeing and getting up close to the breeding herds just to observe and admire. Also tracking and passing up on some bulls because they are too young, "tomorrow is another day, we'll find and older one". And of course my friends, the comradery and drinks around the fire, listening to jokes and stories, or listening to the lions and hyenas having a go at each other. It was a cool experience, but then again, isn't every opportunity we get to spend out in the field an awesome experience!?
