Haaa...no. We shot the hippo from the bank and he died in the water like a sunk submarine. We had to get a bunch of people to help pull himm to the surface. I took off the boots to keep em' dry. Don't you just love my editing tan? I'm whiter than a marshmellow....hee he. Tom and I had a good time on that trip.
That was actually one of my favorite hunts. Hippos are very dangerous...being in the Big 6...they kill people every year in Africa. I would go back and do it again in a heartbeat. After the kills...we had a team of locals cut it up on the spot. They weigh over 6000lbs...so, needless to say, I was unable to drag him back to the car :) You should go do it if you get the opportuniyt.
Take Care J
