Smallish. I think the guide said they max out around 15 Lb.
The ones we were catching were all 5-6 Lb.

Oh, I also caught a Cormorant. That thing was not happy when I reeled it in. LoL.

Everything is back in the US except for the Lion, Elephant and Kudu.

The Elephant and Kudu are on their way to South Africa currently. We are waiting on the US import permits for both the Elephant and the Lion. We expect the Elephant import permit within the year; so we'd have that and the Kudu both shipped at the same time. The Lion will take longer.

We're having replica's made of the elephant tusks to be shipped as soon as they can be made by the folks in SA and I will have a replica made of the Elephant back here in the US. When the tusks arrive back in the US, will put them around the mantle. Also have the hides coming back and will use them in furniture and for making other items.

One ticket left.
“It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.”

I wish it was somewhere exotic like New Zealand or argentina, but it's not. I won a charity auction for the hunt at a ranch an hour northwest of San Antonio. But I'll do it on foot (rifle), I'm not a hunt from a blind hunter.

Headed to South Africa on May 7 for some sightseeing and to hunt in the Eastern Cape and then to KwaZulu-Natal. In August, going to the Brooke's Range in Alaska for a Grizzly hunt.
