Silly People...

Here’s a little note for ya’ll back home to laugh at.

Just to paint a scene for you, the base here is 2500 acres, we have three mountains that occupy a good chunk of space, but then beyond them, and where the buildings are, there’s a huge open plain that slopes slowly down to the gate and fence at the edge. So all in all a pretty amazing place. And THEN you add in… probably around a thousand African antelope, a hundred wildebeests, 20-30 horses, 8 zebras, and (I think) three ostriches. So naturally, wherever you walk, however far, you see antelope. It’s practically impossible NOT to¬. The only possible way not to would be to either walk in the dark and keep your eyes purely on the ground or be walking from one cabin to your neighboring cabin twenty feet away– although even still, there’re often still animals between. It’s a SUPER amazing place to live– not gonna lie.
So when I heard that there were hunters coming, I laughed. Yes: hunters coming to a place that you can’t swing a stick without hitting some sort of an animal– and more likely than not, the animal you’re hunting.
What’s more, we were told they MIGHT be arriving in a helicopter. Yeah, I know, it gets better and better. Bout half an hour after hearing that, (you guessed it) we heard a helicopter fly over. Oh, and it only gets better: they landed in the small field in front of our cabins. So naturally, I had to take a picture.
When I first saw the helicopter I just started laughing. A helicopter in the field in front of the cabins with an entire field full of antelope in the field in the background. Yup. Good sporty hunters I’m sure…

TIA I guess…
