The wife and I are on our way to Somerset East, staying with East Cape Safaris for 12 days, 5 days of hunting for me and 6 days of sightseeing. Long flight but should be a fun trip. We are celebrating our 30th Anniversary.

Nice animals!

Love the "working tusk" on the warthog.  As I understand it, Warthogs are right or left tusked in that they favor one or the other to dig/work/fight/scratch, etc.  clearly yours had a favorite!

Congrats J! Awesome looking animals.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Great looking critters! Quite the way to celebrate an anniversary. What cool touristy things did you see or do apart from the hunting?
