That's a beautiful Madison, Jim, but I would have to grind that spear into a Wharncliffe if it was mine!

You know, Jeff, that would actually be a great combo!

- Red and Fallow.

In Richmond Park there are very good stocks. We cull approx 250/yr.

Very interesting! That’s a lot of culling. When I hunted in Namibia there was a gentleman there from London that who had a private hunting area and they had to cull quite a bit as well. Sounds like a very large population

Nice DANNER Canadians.......got mine in 96.......

Not Canadians, the new,but not improved, version of the Elk Hunter. Danner’s quality has gone down since I started wearing them over 30 years ago. Doubt I’ll ever buy another pair.

Looks like a garbage can or pot of gold next to the bush in the rainbow picture

I was hoping for an elk or a bear under the rainbow, but neither materialized

Was born/brought up in Kenya, dragged kicking n screaming to UK at young age but been back a lot, safaris in SA mostly.

Many lay people don’t understand what encroachment means to many animals - proper culling, across the world, is a necessity in many places, sadly.

Some of the Brits who live around Richmond Park complained once about all the ‘unnecessary culling’, so one year it was curtailed. Following summer, there wasn’t quite enough rain, and together with that, the public witnessed deer starving to death. Not good. Culling resumed.

Richmond Park is a Royal Park - all the venison is given away by the government’s Home Secretary as gifts………..it has never been allowed to be sold.!

I envy you experiencing Africa at a young age like that. I’m glad you’ve been able to make it back.

People are so detached from reality it’s unreal. That type of mentality is what will destroy Kruger. And other places.

Here’s a traditional so as not to derail the thread:
