In summary of what 2006 brought in terms of great trips and fine tophies, this post is to reminisce a most enjoyable year and share it with those of you who are interested..

2006 got off to a great start with Zulu coming on 12 months old at the time, and showing good form on the hill. She winded this very handsome 9.5 inch chamois buck and hardening velvet stag - January 25th 2006. Normally I dont shoot velvies - but while Zulu was young and training, I shot most animals that she winded for training purposes.
