Ripp, I agree with you. Once one goes to Africa, they're changed forever.

Somehow I totally missed this on the BBC. Anybody know what the series was called? The DVD would be worth having - as with most of David Attenborough's films...

A truly amazing feat of endurance to hunt in this manner and actually outrun a kudu to exhaustion and death. Mankind is a wonderful and amazing creature.

How did he get his spear in the heart after all that! Even with a scoped rifle, my hands would have been shaking....

Awesome stuff.

Spetacular film!!!

Those genes are buried but alive in all of us... we can all be reminded of those extraordinary feelings of elation we all have had on the longest of our chases... these must have been imprinted in our memmory thousands of years ago when we (hunters) saved the lives of our kin offering them the food we achieved from the Hunt...

it shows the workethic of the capitalist, yet it shows the sharing of the work and food of the true socialism, it probably shows where comes the motivation of marathon and triathlon atletes, the joy of an honest sweat, the ritual of the Hunt

it shows the taking of the life and the love for the same animal, the love for the land and all things dear to us...

That was a truly fascinating film clip.

I don't think a 'westerner' could claim to be able to accomplish such a hunt. We have our long range rifles, bows and hides and call it a hunt nowadays, nothing wrong with that, it is just a far easier way of getting the same result.

Few of us modern peoples can afford the time needed to become so persistant and develope such endurance in our mechanized society. I am glad there are some out there who can still do it 'that way' to remind us of how difficult life really was or could be.

Cheers,
Mark.

I know these guys. The guy who in the end kills the Kudu is Karowe, from Cgacge, a small village in southern Ghanzi District, Botswana. They also work at a cultural tourism camp in Ghanzi called Trailblazers. I used to live in Ghanzi and hunted with them. We tracked eland and kudu together, They have an amazing ability to read tracks. When they track, they take on the animals persona and “act” like it, getting into its head and predicting where it’ll go.






Look at all the cattle tracks. In there are a few bull eland tracks. They figured it out!
