Namibia Safari pics are up!

[greywolf2112]

Hey, guys - finally got my photos up from Namibia. I had posted an earlier thread detailing my hunt, but here are just the pictures on my Photobucket account - not in any particular order - first set is the hunting, and the second set is just touring around the country.

Oh, and for those pansy-ass treehuggers who think that this ranch I'm on promotes the indiscriminate slaughter of poor little Bambi, I give you a photo of Lucy, an abandoned impala (mother rejected it) - the staff is raising it by bottle and it will go to a petting zoo when it gets older. They've done that for quite a few animals, including Jon-Jon the Eland (damn big boy!)

180 grain Nosler Partition, 2800 fps, out of a Tikka .30-06 - VERY deadly combination.

The cameras are wrapped that way because of the ****ing baboons - those things are pure evil. Even with all that, they STILL find a way through and destroy the cameras. They break into cabins on the property and shit everywhere and destroy everything. They are "shoot on sight" over there, and we took great pleasure popping the little bastards, though most of our shots were 400-550 yards away due to their wariness.

Greywolf, Nice photos. We need a Hunting Forum.

Meh, as far as the tree huggers go, I suppose they are entitled to their opinions, and the rest of us are entitled to think they are loopy.

I myself dont hunt anymore, and never did hunt anything I wasnt going to eat. But, I was never one to presume to tell others how to do their own thing when they werent harming me or mine. I say if you enjoy it and its legal, go for it and piss on those who dont like it.
