We had come upon this leopard after a kill and she was too full to move.  She was in this river bed for over five hours until dark.

Animals are always getting help from the birds to pull ticks and bugs off them

Here's the birds making quick work of the impala.  They pretty well had it gone in an hour.

At night we had the tracker on the fromt bumper with a light, making sure we didn't miss anything that may be near or on the road, we caught Leo lounging off the side of the road with his pride

All in all a great time and probably not one to be repeated soon.  The weather was great since it was rainy season (a bit late actually) and the temp rarely touched 90.

I may not go back tomorrow as the flight was a brute (30 hours travel time with about 20 in the air) but I would like to go back.

Awesome pictures.  My little nephew & niece both just enjoyed the hell out of them.   :tup: :tup:
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
