So I think I mentioned in another thread that I would be headed to South Africa for work but just didnt say when. Well, I just got back on Sunday from being there for 18 days.
I dont have a ton of time now but I will get a bunch more pics up later.
I managed to squeeze in a 3 day hunt while I was there and was lucky enough to get a nice Impala and a really nice Kudu. Both were shot using a guide rifle which was a .270 Mauser. The Imapla was taken at 110 yards across a field and the Kudu was taken at 65 in fairly thick brush. Both shots were taken from standing position using shooting sticks as support. I wasnt happy with the shot on the impala since it wasnt a heart shot but the shot broke both shoulders and dropped it on the spot. The Kudu shot was perfect heart shot and it made it about 25 yards before piling up. The Kudu maxed out the winch on the Bakkie (Jeep). This was about 10km from Botswana. Anyway, Ill get more pics up later but figured you would like these to start.Im right around 6'2" if that helps put size into perspective.
And my guide
And one with the guide in it so you dont think im sitting back behind it to to make it look bigger than it is.
And some cats for fun.. The female liked me but the male wasnt thrilled I was talking to his lady.
