Thanks for the kind words!

I am still a new owner of my Swamp Rats (have a Game Warden as well). I am so glad I had the opportunity to get hold of these two.

JerseyBob.

Believe it or not I left the Insingo at home (fixed blade graze lately). I wanted to give the Swamp Rat RS a good workout. Only complaint was I did not do a good job with the convex edge. So wen I came home I re-profiled it to 15 degrees per side. It still got the job done, but I got my technique down with conventional sharpening and I do feel it would perform even better now.

But the Insingo has seen its share, it would be a shame to not use knives one buys.

I love the pics marthinus <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I did see some of them over on BF, but the full set give a better idea on the country that you hunted.

I'm surprised that it looks so much like our channel country in western Queensland. different animals of course. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thanks again for showing them.
Ian.


I told my wife I wanted to be cremated. She made me an appointment for tomorrow afternoon. grin

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Ian, it is really flat part of our country, most of our crop (corn, maize, sunflower) farmers are in this province. Then one can also head out to the other parts of our country.

Here is a representation of our bioms

The Savanah areas look like this in the northern parts closer to Zimbabwe.

(There is Blue Wildebees in this picture)

and then the same biom towards Namibia is classified as a semi arid Savannah, this was after great rain fall.

The Oryx is my favorite antelope found mostly in the semi arid region.

and this is one is just a bad guy. Pofadder, according to evolution theory the older version of the Viper.

Here is a Savanah plain picture I took. You can barely make out the Eland antelope.
