6. Oribi, Eastern Cape, May 28, 2015; Benin. March 26, 2017 The oribi is one of the larger of the Tiny Ten, weighing up to about 50 lbs. Only the males have straight horns and they can get to about 7 inches. There’s only one species of oribi, but it’s claimed that there are up to 12...

Back at it . . . for a bit! 5. Red Duiker, Eastern Cape, May 24, 2015; Cameroon, Jan 21, 2019 The name “red duiker” can be confusing. For most of us, it refers to what is also known as the Natal red duiker or red forest duiker (cephalophus natalensis), with a range from the eastern coast...

Interesting. I’m not sure on balance if this makes more sense- or less - sense, but puts a possible new perspective on the issue.

A question and I hope it comes across as sincere, because it is. If President Trump is so against narco-traffickers (as we all should be), what is the rationale for pardoning the former president of Honduras, who is serving a legitimate and much deserved sentence in a US jail?

A shotgun . . . sure . . . but a bow? Good for you. Can’t wait to see who is in which camp!

Yup. That’s me with Guav Johnson, the PH on that hunt. Thanks for the comments. Appreciate them.

This is a perfect example of how this site has degenerated. If you cared, and had even a modicum of politeness and a semi-decent upbringing, you could have asked why I do that, and I’d have been happy to tell you - I’ve explained it elsewhere on this site. I also apologized for doing so in...

OK. First, some administration. In trying to get as much of this done as I could before heading out to pay my penance for hunting (travel with my wife), I not only miscounted, but got the kleppie out of order. Second, this is the last instalment until early December because I will be in Peru...

4. Klipspringer, Northwest province, July 23, 2012 Not sure how I made a mistake on the timing of my animals, but I did. Probably because it was a long time ago . . . In any event, I was hunting a Wintershoek property in 2012 called Gamagara, mostly because I wanted a tsessebe, and...

No

2. Cape Grysbok, Eastern Cape, June 30, 2014 As things turned out, I didn’t get a chance at another of the Tiny Ten for three more years and three more safaris. But then I got two on one(ish) hunt. I was hunting the Eastern Cape for a few days before heading to the Northern Cape, looking...

Wonderful! But we’re going to have to move this picture eventually!

Actually, congratulations to you - I can see a common duiker with a bow, but a klipspringer? Wow.
