| Second Desert Expedition | November 2008 |
| |
I got together with my childhood friend, Mr Sven Coerper, and we met in the Middle East for another desert adventure. This time we flew a lot closer to the area where we wanted to hunt, so there was a lot less driving involved.
The weather was great - sun sun sun! We spent 10 days on the ground, found about 20 specimens, a few kg all in all. We had a blast! I can't wait to go again!!!
Here are some of the highlights... |
