  • I really enjoy the pictures showing how well the different animals are camouflaged when in the their natural environment. We see it here with the antelope. When there is a little snow on the ground, they seem to be at their best in blending in to their surroundings.

    If we cannot define a simple word like greatness, how can we ever hope to use it as a measuring stick to know when we have risen beyond average?

          • Relaxing in the bush camp after a long hot day outdoors, starting the evenings fire with my Bowie and a ferro rod.
            Wild Rhino , leopard , giraffe, sable , roan, kudu, cape buffalo etc walking freely on this 5000 ha private game ranch just 10 m away next to the small fence surrounding this single remote building and fire place-- what bliss!!

            • What is the purpose of the bars over the windows? To keep the monkeys, or wildlife, out? Or is the purpose like that of burglar bars over here, to keep the two legged predators at bay?

                    • Another nice bush-camp and -fire out there in the wild under the stars...
                      Observe our old Chev Nomad hunting Jeep that time in the background?
                      The brakes failed far away from civilization and we then used to stop it against a tree! lol
                      Also see the traditional water kettle, called a 'seroot' , on the fire.

                      • It would be to keep people out Tex. Most places there also have electrified fences and barbed concertina wire as well. Note the electrified wire to the ground on the inside of the fence as well as the top.

                          Now Look, if a man start making his sandwich here in the desert with his small hatchet,then you know for a fact that its time for him to go bush!
                          [spread the butter, chop some onions, slice a tomato, make some 'feather-sticks' out of dried 'biltong' jerky and cut the sandwich in half afterwards ]....lol
                          Yep, the 'hunting' urge is starting to kick in.......

                                Even in zim where there is now a ban on hunting the lions after the bambi bleeding hearts have their way with the cecill the lion debacle, and now more than 200 over populated lion had to be put down without a single finacial benifit to the rural local communities

                                People that dont know what the real situation on the ground is, or dont have a clue what the real meaning of the phrase "sustainable hunting" is ,must not listen to stupid libaral propaganda, as they are then directly responsible , and do more harm than good to the animals and local people collectively...

                                And now, without hunters or safari operators in these remote areas, these poachers took over, doing even more harm...
                                All thanks to the bambi crowd sitting in a country far -far away hipnotized by their pc screens... !
