Welcome back, Kevin. Great shooting....especially the first kudu. I know of few hunters that would have learned from that shoot....in fact, many would have related it as a "first shot stop" by the time they returned to camp. This irks me to no end.

I, too, have learned that animals don't always lend themselves to perfect shots. Stuff happens. It's not possible for us to "guarantee" quick kills every time...but we can certainly approach this ideal by reviewing our shoots with honesty and integrity.

Great pics, too. Just one question: in the first photo, which one's the warthog?
