    I went hunting.

    Have wanted to hunt Africa since I was 10, so I did.

    Africa 100% gets under your skin. It's my third trip there but first time hunting. At this stage the plan is Namibia in 2024.

    It really is something more kiwis should do. Great fun, challenging hunts, good people and it's pretty affordable really.

    Yes you did go hunting, well done @Tim. I think you also may have won the prize for most understated post of the year so far!

    He was old. One eye, big scars on his neck, really, really happy with him.

    Very cool, I like that Kudu. Did you take a rifle or borrow one over there?

    @stug when are we going?

    I was a tourist after, so elected to use the PH's rifle. Was a cool Musgrave in 308.

    The country was really cool. I'll find some more pics. It was all within a couple of hours of East London near the Kei.
