Trek for the Tiny Ten

[Moe324]

I believe I killed my blue duiker on the Adrian Ford property also. I also used a shotgun and dogs. I hunted with uncle Robert and his dogs. Robert had a bright blue wind breaker jacket on. He's one guy I don't think I'll ever forget. You bloody fool.

Blocking out your face in the pictures is stupid.

This is a perfect example of how this site has degenerated.

If you cared, and had even a modicum of politeness and a semi-decent upbringing, you could have asked why I do that, and I’d have been happy to tell you - I’ve explained it elsewhere on this site. I also apologized for doing so in the second post on this thread. But instead, you decided you know best.

This sort of comment has become second nature on social media among a certain type of person, which is too bad.

I could care less if you block your face or not. But I am curious is it your face showing in your bongo picture on your profile on here? Anyways good stories so far and can't wait for the rest. I have 5 more to go and it will take probably a decade more time to get all 10.

Yup. That’s me with Guav Johnson, the PH on that hunt.

Thanks for the comments. Appreciate them.

If people want to blur their faces okay by me. There are many reasons to do this, as in this case requested by @Hank2211 kids if I remember correctly. Unsympathetic boss or co-workers can make your work life hell.
I’m a proud hunter and conservationists but I know what battles can be won so no reason inviting a new battle that may come out of the blue.

At one time I felt like @hoytcanon, but after discussing it with the brother of one of my PH’s he was able to change my mind.

Enjoying tagging along on your quest!

3. Blue Duiker, Eastern Cape, July 3, 2014

.......... then I saw what looked like a large rat streaking by me. ........

My Blue Duiker was taken with a bow.
It could not have been any more diametrically opposed to your presentation. Small guy flitting into sight through heavy cover and standing nervously while I worked to be silent as I drew the bow to take a standing shot.

Enjoy Peru.

Some of us will still be here when you return to the share the rest of the stories. Others won't!

A shotgun . . . sure . . . but a bow? Good for you.

Can’t wait to see who is in which camp!

I've said the same on a few members here before. Propriety seems to slip with a select few. On the positive side, its typically the same few and/or the few don't frequent much or stay long. One of the reasons I prefer AH to most other forums is the level of Decorum.

That said, very much enjoy these stories of your tiny 10. Always a good read on a Hank report!

What a great thread - I had a similar idea to start a Tiny 10 story on another site but it never took off.
Some great pictures and stories so far. Looking forward to more. I have hunted most of them but the one that stands out the most for me was a Common Duiker (below pic left) that my son shot in Zululand when he was 14. Certainly the most memorable of our little antelope! Cheers

@Charlie64, whopper of a common duiker! Well done by your son.
Who did the mounts of the duiker and vallie?

 

[Leadwood]

@Charlie64.......really nice looking Vaal Rhebuck!
Where was your hunt......Eastern Cape mountains?
They make for superb stalking.....and some precision shooting in the wind..
