Cool Saddam's Game Preserve
Saddam had a game preserve where he and his guests would hunt...gazelles!

The US Marines now control the preserve and are hunting and eating gazelles. LOL!
So as not to ruin the preserve, each platoon of Marines is allowed only one gazelle.

Okay. Who knows about gazelles? How big are they?
Are they tasty?
I know gazelles are pretty fast on their feet.
Our jarheads are pretty good shooters, but I'll bet they ain't shootin' 'em on the run!

Airborne! Steve / 82Rigger

Wink GAZELLE
Probably Thompson's Gazelle, or Tommys. Pretty plentiful in Africa. These are the favorite prey of cheetahs. They're about the only predator that can catch these fleet footed antelope. The Pronghorn Antelope is probably the closest thing we have to them. I think they're pretty small. A good sized buck probably doesn't hit 100 lbs.. Be a pretty good shot to hit one on the run, I'm thinking.

Poor jackalopes

They have been hunted to near extinction. When I was living in New Mexico I saw many a mounted head but never a live one.
