in Africa when you kill any animal the ranch keeps the meat and the hunter gets the hide and skull. when we were there we ate meat from hunts before us so we did get to try different animals. everything we had tasted very good. i think thats a good way to do it though. if i would have got the meat of the animals i would have donated it to a village. they waste nothing over there and have plenty of need for food.

That's great, no waste.

Those should definitely make your trophy room a lot more interesting. The racks on those animals are very impressive.

That's good to hear, Matt. You and Joey have some great trophies there, I'm sure he will remember this trip for the rest of his life!

And I agree with VCU, nice to have you posting on your blog again.

Knowing Mike, that's *got* to be a double entendre.

So did you keep the hides and skulls?

That's gotta be quite the souvenir for your son if you did!

Awesome pics and great hunting! I love the respect true hunters have for the animals. waste not and honor the animal. Great memory for you and you son for the rest of your lives!

Now when are you going CAGE HUNTING!!!
