Wow what an epic safari! Those warthog are incredible!

I sat next to Bredger on the ATL-JNB flight my last trip over. Nice guy and he had some great stories.

Thank you @PARA45 , I greatly appreciate your comments throughout! We still have some cool stuff to go and then I'll tie it all up at the end. I have enjoyed writing the report and it brings back such fond memories every time I sit down at the computer. PH Bredger Thomason, aka @Madhatter has been following the thread as well and says it all played out exactly as described and feels like he is right there doing it all over again, just like groundhog day! I couldn't ask for much more than that.

oh yeah! I'm so looking forward to the next Safari.

They have some really nice warthogs there. Sometimes having the memory of the one missed and still out there draws a hunter back time after time. I would say Ian bonded with the 9.3. It is special having your birthday in Africa, my wife celebrated hers in 2025 and I did in 2021, it is like a big family party where everyone even the black sheep cousins show up. They truly went all out for Ian congratz and Qudo's to the outfitter for making it happen.

Nah I couldn't really sleep much after your venomous snake stories!

Oh please, share those stories if you can.

Oh please, share those stories if you can.

I try to rid my mind of that type of information quickly, so I am not worrying about it on my hunt!

But when one is making a stalk on a warm sunny day in Africa, crawling on hands and knees through waist high grass with the rocky ground dotted with critter holes of all sizes, it becomes difficult to focus on the herd of wildebeest ahead of you when your mind starts to gravitate to what the PH said to you on the plane. What was it he said about mambas? ...or was it puff adders? Or cobras?...

It made me appreciate the mental fortitude PHs like Bredger must have in order deal with that on a daily basis for half the year!
