RE: Africa slide show
Protect us...? They were there to make sure we did the hunt by the book. We were hunting on the north side of Etosha National Park. The lions were coming from and back into the park after the had their fill on the bushmen's cattle. The hunt (acquiring spoor)and the simple road system took us in and out of the park regularly (we could onlykill outside the park). When the first lion was killed, we were less than 300 meters from the park boundry. He was killed at 11:00 pm under a full moon-the night vision equipment we had on hand was not required. The anti poachers, I assure you, had their night vision trained on us. They were johnny on the spot after the shot.
