Domesticated animal?? Zebra? Dude I'm out here in the middle of nowhere ain't no domesticated nothing

How long you down there for Pox?

When is the last time you saw someone riding damn Zebra?? So tell me how a Zebra is domestic ?? And ill wait for the video of the africas working cows / buffalo on Zebra back

Considering zebras domesticated is a bit of a stretch. Have some been trained? Yes, but to say they are domesticated because they resemble a horse is like calling a moutain lion domesticated because it looks like a cat. Hell, I work with a girl from Vietnam whose favorite meat back home is dog! She said they only eat it on special occasions because it's expensive. I've also saw a show on the Food Network where they ate donkey meat in Italy. There was a whole market devoted to just donkeys....... To be honest, I'll eat both of those too! Can't be any worse than what you get at a fast food joint. Anything is good in a gravy if you cook it long enough!

I guess each person has their own idea on what constitutes a safari . I haven't even heard of half the animals Pox and his wife have taken. All I know is if the guide tells me I can shoot it and it's edible, I'm dropping that sucker if my bank account can afford it!

I Hear ya on that! VERY VERY unlikely that my bank accout will ever let me afford something like that tho. lol Id like to see a dollar amount on this whole trip pox! Dont take this as im calling you out tho. If you work hard and make good money i dont blame you one bit for spending it having a good time.

thats awesome mike

I don't even know what I've spent so far except I know it's more than I originally estimated lol .... So many animals and no will power to let em walk

i think i will sell my house, kill a giraffe and live in it as a full body mount.

very nice btw!

So they charge by the animal?

You pay a daily rate for your PH ( in Africa a guide is called a professional hunter , they are licsenced by the province ) , daily rate for my wife as an observer on the days she's just tagging along . Daily rate includes room and board ( 5 star amenities , we have a personal chef, waiter, and a maid. literally as soon as I throw a towel on the floor after bathing it's picked up and a new one is brought . If I don't have a drink in my hand they are always trying to give us one . Basically the absolute best hospitality I've ever experienced ) , transport , all meals drinks ect. Then I pay for the trophies some are a flat fee some you pay more or less depending on size. The area I hunted first is right under 100,000 acres the area I'm on now is 70,000 acres and I'm going back to the 100,000 acre area Saturday for 2-3 more days then to a costal area that I prolly won't hunt most likely just bum around with Kori on the beach

What outfit u used

Finally!! Stopped him in his tracks!!! Extra bonus that the skin is considered "Grade A" quality. Going to have a rug made

I hear pickled Zebra Lips are awesome!


That's cool!

Big mountain reedbuck my wife shot today , another perfect shot 220 + yards . Shot him n watched him roll down the mountain

The pics are really amazing Pox

Guy from the states that specializes in hunting all over the world http://gwhunts.com/ Gordie white, set everything up for me .

Well OK, I guess I misspoke. I should have said it "resembles" a domestic animal. But whatever twist is put on it...no way in hell I'd ever eat a horse. :)
Not that I am putting down in any way the adventure you're on. Enjoy it out there man...a trip most would never get a chance at.
But remember ..."a horse by any other name...is still a horse" :D

Trip of a lifetime no doubt!

:) pox, why you wearing your life jacket in that pic?
That pond deep behind ya? :D

Awesome thing to do,enjoy you hunt!

Great stuff.... Some day i am going to do my bucket list hunting trip. Want to do a traditional style hunt in old europe for wild boar, roe deer, red stag and other stuff. (yeah i know you can kill all that stuff in texas) But you can't get the same kind of feel over here.

Don't knock it till you try it. My buddy has killed a zebra and it was very good eating.

Have you seen any wild cats? Are any on your hit list?

They hunted cats last night with the dogs , a big Lynks was taken last night but not by me

Husband and Wife Gemsbok down!!! What an amazing hunt yesterday!! I shot a gemsbok at 400 yards on a walk n stalk , I've been hunting this animal the whole time I've been in Africa , tgey have been the most difficult animal to get . The closest I could get was 400 before they'd start moving, the terrain was extremely rugged and the day was coming to an end so I squeezed off a round 400 yards uphill in 30 mph wind KABOOM .... Tagged it! Animal took off.... Crap! Put my pack back on and we took off up the mountain after it , it went out of sight but when we rounded a corner another herd of 8 was 200 yards away so we set up the shooting stick and my wife tagged one! My wife went in the direction of hers with the PH and another PH and I went off with a tracker and a skinner into the direction of mine . Full of emotion , excitement not only I finally got one but so did Kori, fear it wasn't a good enough shot , worried Kori would get hurt climbing the mountian on pursuit of hers... We get to where my animal was shot but couldn't find blood... Crap! At this time Kori n the 2 PH's are completely out of sight . We search high n low in crazy thick terrain ... Nothing and the sun is going down , starting to get very nervous . I finally start to see Kori and 1 PH in the distance so I begin to make my way to them . Once we meet up I find out one of the PH continued on after koris Gemsbok . So we devised a plan to continue on and leave Kori . After another hour tracking we finally spot mine seeking cover and saftey in the brush on the side of the mountain ... Boom perfect shoulder shot ( take out its 4 wheel drive because I couldn't imagine chasing it any longer) and down it goes!! Now how to get it down !! Bittersweet feeling now since we had recovered mine but koris was still missing , it was dark and we couldn't find the other PH. We load into a land cruiser ( which is the most hardcore work horse vechile I've ever seen) in search of the PH . Within 30 min we find him and plan to come back in the morning since he located good blood . 6 am we start tracking the blood and finally locate the animal at 1:30 ! What a feeling! .. Unfourtantly koris gemsbok was damaged by animals during the night so we don't have a picture of hers but ill post up some of mine later tonight!

Awesome, what's the time difference there?

8 hours ahead of y'all

Seen any of these bad boys over there?
