Thanks for your concern. These 61 year old knees have really been through the grind over the years. I had cartilege removed from one knee in 1971, then 3 years later I had a chain saw rip through the other one. I currently have multiple cartilege tears in both knees which I've been putting up with for about 10 or 12 years now. I'm on blood thinners so surgery is an option of last resort. I get Cortisone injections in them every few months, and get fluid drained out of them periodically. To say I'm proud of what I accomplished, is an understatement.

As I said before Mike, a beaut trophy, well & truly earned, you can be proud of yourself. Your hunt sounds like the sort I have in mind to do if/when I get the chance. Enough hunting to know I've done a safari, enough taking in Africa to know I've been there. The fishing in the Chobe & bird watching sound like my way to achieve the latter. Treasure those memories.
