Hey Mike, something one would love to see if hunting one, but not if it just sticks its head out of the grass when one is just having a walk.

Love its eyes.

Do you mean that this is not how you would like to see him.

Incredible photo---awesome..

Agree--would not be so cute if just out for a walk without a gun..last time I was in Zim and walked around a bush to drain my bladder--two lionesses were starring at me from about 80 meters--htat was way to close for me let alone this photo...

Last season we had to recover a bait chain that had been pulled from a tree along with the bait and dragged into a particularly nasty stretch of riverine forest. It was decided that it would be best to let him finish the meat and come collect the chain in a days time. This however was too soon!
Both myself and Stu the PH checked our rifles and loaded them (FMJ's as there are plenty of bad tempered Elephant in that bush along with some Hippo)as the trackers took to the spoor armed with axes. We had only travelled about fifty meters when we had to squeeze past a thorn bush and enter into a low canopied patch of Jesse bush. As we dropped down into this patch we all seemed to stop at once. There in front of us at about fifteen paces was the Lion fast asleep. As we where hunting for a mature Lion Stu and I crouched down and with the help of the binoculars assessed his feature for sign of age. After what was probably only a couple of minutes the Lion woke up and bloody hell his eyes looked big at that distance through the Leicas, not to mention he looked Pissed Off! As he slowly stood up, we slowly but surly reversed steps with rifles ready!
We left the chain another couple days only to track the chain again, this time with Crocodile spoor to the bank of the river.
Oh well, time for a new chain.
During that hunt we also bumped onto an old lion at ten yards as we inspected a foul smell that turned out to be a carcass of a poached Elephant.

You mean if BA didn't even food poison their guests! Like they did to me once. Don't touch their prawns! But it was their chicken which food poisoned me.

Let alone being distinctly anti gun in how they treat travelling hunters nowadays.

I like the pith helmet on the poster too.

From the good old days.

The leather boots are cool too. Hunters don't wear leather boots like that anymore.

Why?

Too expensive?

Too impractical?

Too hot?


Actually those look funny, being lace up at the bottom, but not above? Perhaps they are gaitors?

The RCMPolice Strathcona Riding Boots (brown) had higher lacing, but of course, were worn with spurs. Used to dig into the carpet underneath the gas & brake petal a bit! - HA!

The leather back pack, bag and knife sheath all add a lot to the photo too.

I add to this post to beautifull pics, i am not a great fotographer...BUT if you take 600 pics... even the worst fotographer takes a couple of good ones...



This is a pic of the Kwando River , in Caprivi (Nambia) , it was taken from the boat meanwhile we where hunting hippos. A really beautifull experience in a beautifull area...





This is the first lights of the day , hunting Cape Bushbucks, in Port Alfred, in the Eastern Cape (RSA). We drive early in the morning, and there was fog like this every day, because we hunted next to the sea, in the dunes of the wild beaches of the Indic Ocean... Amazing place, great rememberings.



I hope you like it
Jose

The reflection on the water is really spectacular in the first pic.

Wouldn't you love to floating along quietly on an African river right now ....
