Great story Mickey and Nickudu. I'm sure I'm not the only one on NE who feels drawn to the DRC!

I know that some of the hunting reconnaissance trips done in the DRC in the last few years have been up in the area mentioned in the story. In the northeast of DRC. Although it unfortunately seems like it will still be some time before tourist hunting will be possible.

I was told by a friend of mine who was in DRC a couple of years ago that fresh bongo tracks were seen on various logging roads in the rain forest somewhere reasonably close to the stories location, but alas, when such logging roads are opened, the downside is often that the game is quickly poached out...

Here's a map for those who might not be familiar with where the story takes place:

The Ituri forest is south/southeast from Niangara.

It was also interesting to read that they used slings on their rifles, as the pros and cons of using a sling have been a topic of discussion here previously.

I for one hope we will see more stories from Nickudu!

Erik
