NAMIBIA: Did Someone Go Hunting With Christie's Adventures Namibia?

[MarkB]

I think the farm was an original cattle ranch that belonged to her parents. Christie married into it and saw the light, changed from cattle to game. Yes the PH was a youngish blond guy, he got dehydration getting my zebra out. Funny as I said that they should take some water that day, they drank night before till wee hrs in morning. He got real bad heat stroke/dehydration and was on IV in bed for 3 days after. We did have the food guy with lots of water so we were all good. Never to proud to admit I need water. Those zebra were in the Loxondona? conservancy and man the mnts reminded me of here in BC, steep and rocky. Same place we got the kudu, they migrated out of them hills for the rut. We sat on lookouts and seen some monsters, hard to get to, loose site after we bail off lookout, then try relocate and stalk. Was a ton of fun, and ended with a super old dandy. I really liked Namibia, people, game every where, good transportation, clean and friendly. Problem is I got almost all their game, Christie also found me a great dik dik.

No idea what happened to place today. Sad it was so beautiful.

Mark same here. I also took a beautiful Mountain Zebra in those rugged mountains; I shot him from the top of one of those koppies 3 times at just over 400 yards with my 7mmRemag. It was one of my most memorable hunts. Besides the Leopard and the drinking it was an incredible time.
Besides the drinking, Christie was also overweight and smoked all day long and with the amount of food and dessert he ate, I knew that he wouldn't live long.

PS Mark. I shot a small male the following year in Zimbabwe but I found the same thing as you did with small males and females because as I learned later, that in many areas of Zimbabwe, many of these small farms are getting a quota, so they are killing any male that comes on bait.

I saved up and went to Zambia a few years ago where I killed a big one after only 2 evenings of sitting and it was in daylight

You get what you pay for
