The Old Dog Hunts Again

[larry4831]

Hallo from main camp, at Khomas Highland Safaris,
(Mountains west of Windhoek, Namibia).

At the moment, we're in from the bush for lunch.
Just a few minutes ago, the communications company repaired our tower here (baboons had climbed the pole and pulled some wires out).
So at last we have Internet.

The above photo was taken in Heathrow-London Airport.
L to R:
My son Danny (DoubleLunger).
Myself
Dale (old friend from my childhood).

Anyway, so far, collectively we've taken a Hartman Zebra, a red hartebeest, a Springbock, and two gemsbock.

Must go now but hunting is good, owners and staff are good as well.
(Food is also quite good.)

There will be a thorough report at some stage and Danny will post photos as well.
However, it shall have to be after our return as, none of us wish to spend our time in Africa writing reports lol.

Cheers,
Velo Dog.

You're a lucky man Velo dog

I'm thoroughly enjoying your snippets from the bush...Only makes anticipation of the full story more keen.

Stay safe, hunt hard and above all have fun

Thanks enysse,

Brit Air has not mentioned that possibility whatsoever.
Their ploy is to put the victim on hold forever, obviously hoping he will just take it in the arse and quietly go away.
When someone finally answers the line again, they spew out multiple excuses as to why they can do nothing.

British Air is a mob of gangsters,

In reference to the pic with the parrot on VD's shoulder, you have to take friends where you find them!

Agree, but still think the parrot should have been able to find better options....


What great pictures!!!!

My fav is the "selfie" taken by @DoubleLunger with @Velo Dog standing in the back of the bakkie and scanning the horizon. Priceless....

I'm not too sure as to how the scoring works as they represent how big our Kudu's were yet I could be mistaken.

I just look at it as reward of great hunting

Did you transit through Thief Row in London?

Yes and Johannesburg. ........never again.

British Airways and Comair will now forever be my last choice. In fact I'd rather swim
