As you know, hunting is my job and my passion but for some years I also like to take pictures of the African Wildlife and Birdlife. I am not a pro but I try to do my best as I have some opportunities to get close enough to immortalize some beautiful animals and birds. I like to get pictures of the bulls as for me they are more photogenic. I can't get one or two out of the thousands I took. For some I like the scenic or the action or the beauty of the animal or the trophy and so on...
So here are some I hope you will enjoy.
Please share some you took.

Christophe

Caustin,
I don't know if I am good with my rifle !!! I just try to get the hunters in the best shooting position to avoid backing up wounded animals.... but for sure it is fun to get pictures of wildlife and share them as much as possible.

You are welcome gentlemen. I think it is part of a hunting trip, at least to watch the animals and birds. Anytime I get a chance I go for a picture, I always carry my camera while hunting, it gives me some great opportunities to get pictures of rare animals. Nice to share with fellow hunters.

Amazing Pictures. I spent 4 days on a photo safari in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire. The amount of wildlife was amazing and loved all the different birds. Seeing your pictures brings back some great memories. Thank-You
