Is every animal you killed going to be hanging on the wall at the new house? You have a kill room set up?

Maybe it's just me, but killing a zebra is like killing a horse. Not sure about that one. Maybe I'm just crazy like that.

If it is going to be eaten then what's wrong with it? I've had horses my whole life and I would try horse meat without hesitation if I had the opportunity. But like you say, "Maybe I'm just crazy like that." :D

Finally got my zebra !! Ill post up pics if I can get them uploaded . My wife also shot a beautiful mountain reedbuck @ 250 yards . I will at least try the zebra meat but it will get eaten

Well...you may have missed my point. Zebra/horse by modern civilization standards is considered a domestic animal. When I think of African safaris and hunting in Africa...I think of water buffalo, rhinos, lions, the "big 5" type species. But Zebra? lol

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.
