I am currently reading Mahohboh, by Ron Thomson. It gives a very vivid picture of culling and the conservation of the sepsis and maintaining the eco system. If you want to see a eco system destroyed by an overpopulation of elephants just go look a Madikwe Park in South Africa. The requirements...

I can still see my irons, so I feel blessed. However the last two trips I had some night hunts also on the plan so my 500/416 I used a 1 moa RMR and my 9.3x74 I used a 2 moa Riton. I have to admit it is much easier to shoot better as the dot covers far less that the irons front bead. So the...

I layered with fleece. Our lowest temp in the morning we saw was 22 degrees. With a mid 60's high. That was in the june time frame.

Sighting of an aardwolf is very rare. Congratulation on a nice safari.
