If I were to do Africa then this would be my type of hunt. All spot and stalk on wary animals and I am especially excited by the fact that you got on to some fully free ranging animals on a neighbouring property re: Kudu etc... Thank you very much for sharing your tale with us Will, as we do not get a lot of African content on here. Fine story and some fine hunting.

Great write up and pics Huck,
Some nice trophies there but the Gemsbok looks exceptional, congrats.

Excellent! That's just outside of my home town...

There is only one bad thing about Africa, once you go - you will want to return again and again. Thats a fact......

[RazorX]

Good times. Putting the smack down on some African game!

What a reedbuck!!! holy cow! I have seen really big ones in Mozambique and botswana, but that is a monster!!! COngratulations!!

I will go in one month! Hope I have the same luck!

[iamyourhuckleberry]

Thanks Tali, I nearly wet my pants when I saw him and darn near missed my opportunity. He was bedded under a bush with a doe-midday. I slowly worked within forty yards; I used a bush as cover. When I broke cover to make the shot, the doe busted me. The buck came to his feet and stared directly at me. We made eye contact. I released. The arrow struck him as he quartered away. We found him dead two hundred yards into thicker bush. He's 14 7/8" on one side and 14 5/8" on the other. He's definitely beyond anything I ever imagined.

I wish you the very best of luck on your trip!

That is a great article you put together of what was obviously a fantastic hunt :D

Thanks for sharing it with us :)

[excelpoint]

Very nice read mate. I enjoyed that.

[troy]

Congrats mate nice animals you took there, especially for spot and stalk, that is a screamer of a buck. That cape buff in your pics is a good'en too.

[iamyourhuckleberry]

Thanks Mick and Excel,

What's hunting if you cannot share? I wish I could bundle you all up and return back to Africa with the whole lot. There is something very special about being right there where we got our start.

I hope I can share more.....Thanks!

unreal mate, what a fantastic write up about an awsome hunt. There would be nothing like it anywhere else with the variety of game you experiance over there.

Well done to all involved and thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing mate. I really enjoyed your article and photo's, tough luck about the lens!
I have never really held much interest in hunting Africa, though your story of non typical game & locations paints a fine picture. Cheers

Will great going for a spot and stalk hunt that gemsbok is a craker they are on the top of my list when i get there one day Thanks Shane

[Jeremy87]

Wow, something to do before i die i reakon to hunt in africa. Though it wouldn't feel the same for me as shooting ferals is how i justify the killing in hunting. I'd have problems knocking over a cat etc but wouldn't have a problem dropping the different types of buck. i'd really like to get a hog those guys really have great tusks.

[brucester]

Mate that was awesome, maybe one day I'll get to do that same. I'd love to hunt in North America as well there are some big animals up that way.:cool:
cheers
