Hi

I just returned from my hunting trip. My destination was Malta Ranch in the Kalahari.
I had a great time but only managed to shoot a baboon. My dad shot a good Red Hartebeest and my brother shot a blesbok.
Now I would like to know if shooting a baboon is something to be proud of or is it just a pest animal.

Dox,
I am a firm believer that a trophy is in the eye of the beholder. If (YOU) are proud of your baboon then so am I.
Congrats on your trip.
Lets see some pictures!
 
Baboons are smart and not an easy animal to get with a bow. Yes, you should be proud. Congratulations!
 
How do I post pictures
 
Hey Dox,
A Baboon is certainly a trophy to be proud of.Why would we put them on the trophy list otherwise? What type of mount are you planning on doing? See if you can put the pics up....
 
Hi

Please don't mind my eyes covered for it is for religious purposes

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
