Default RE: Africa slide show

Adam, I believe so. Or perhaps the ability to turn on a dime at 60 mph. The cheetah is currently prohibited from being brought into the USA-under CITES regulations. There are very few places in Africa where they can be legally hunted and are under strict government control. We were lucky to get the permit for that cat (actually more dog like than cat like). It is currently a life size mount in the jointly owned home of Mark and Cecil in New Zealand.

28 yards Heu. She was walking into the wind and gave me a quartering away shot. I shot her with a Carbon Express Terminator tipped with a 100 grain Grim Reaper. My 78# PSE Stingray blasted the arrow through her-the shaftskipped an additional 50 yards downrange. She never took another step. The PH had me follow the shot with a second. It wasn't necessary, butit made him happy. That hunt was by far the most emotional hunt I have ever been on.
