Hey guy’s.

I have some pretty decent pictures that I would like to share with all on Trad Gang.

I hope everyone likes them one thing that you will clearly notice is the difference in vegetation summer vs winter.

Gentleman I love talking about Africa and if it is bow hunting in Africa even better I have noticed that some of you are experience hunters in the dark continent but I am sure there are others with a few burring questions?   :bigsmyl:  

Please don’t hesitate to bring them up here and we can form a nice discussion as to African wildlife and hunting methods as well as share some past experiences?

Best Regards

Those are absolutely beautiful! I especially love the picture of the oryx. Someday that would be a dream come true.

Hi Gentleman.

Thanks for the nice compliments on the photo’s.

Jason don’t worry I have somewhat of a gemsbuck addiction myself LOL.   ;)  

Kibok&Ko this is the Southern Roan it is one of the best bull’s I have seen in South Africa I estimate him to be 28”, the only place I have seen better Roan was in the South Luangwa Zambia they tend to have thicker basis there.

Funny how habitat plays a major role in the horn growth of an animal I bet you get the same thing back home with white tail and elk?

Best Regards
