More great stuff! Any particular reason none of the hunters have their bow or rifle in the picture with them? Just curious because personally I always like the firearm (or bow) that was used to be in the photo as well.
Very neat. I also wonder why no pics with the guns....
No particular reason for the absence of firearms in the pics above, this group just preferred it this way. I would agree that most hunters add the firearm or bow in.
Thanks. Aside from no firearms, the extra effort put into taking quality photos there is outstanding!Quote:

Sorry but you lost me at Baboon.
A highly intelligent primate that lives in a complex social system with many other baboons.
What's the point of killing one?
Not a wall mount, I hope.
Does any one eat them?
Johny, Baboons are considered pests throughout parts of South Africa. They are numerous and cause significant crop damage and damage to buildings and facilities, especially thatched roofing etc. They would be considered varmits by our standards just like coyotes (except they cause way more damage). They have to be managed like all other game animals. They are not eaten. Some hunters do keep the skulls for a mount similar to a black bear skull mount and I have seen some mounted. All in all, left unchecked they can cause serious problems to farms and buildings.
