Post by: on June 24, 2011, 11:50:00 AM
Well, tomorrow morning (6/25/11) I get on the plane to return to South Africa! I can't wait and am going pretty crazy right now trying to make sure I have everything packed and do not forget anything. I return in a couple weeks and hopefully I will have a great story and lots of pics for everyone to enjoy.

See ya later,

Bisch

I am hunting with Lenyati Safaris in Limpopo province. I will be taking two Sarrels Blueridge takedown longbows( my go-to bow and a clone back up; 50#@29.5"). I shoot 30.5" Gold Tip 55/75 arrows with 100gr brass inserts and 3-4" feathers. I shoot 150gr German Kinetic Silverflame broadheads( 1 1/8" for larger critters and 1 1/2" for smaller critters).

Thanks for the well wishes! Story and pics in a few weeks when I get back.

I have a Blue Wildebeest, Blesbuck, Impala, Steenbok, and Duiker in the package I bought. I also told him I would like to shoot a Zebra and a Gemsbuck. If I was to get all of those, I will be one happy camper!

He made it home and is recouping. I don't figure it'll be long before he shares the pics and stories.
I know 1 doesn't have such a happy ending.

Not familiar with his last trip.  Sure hope he posts soon.  When I went in 07 the animal I wanted most was the Gemsbok.  I saw one in 10 days and got a 24 yard shot on him.  I messed it up and didn't recover the animal.  Round 1 to the Gemsbok.  Round 2?  We'll see in 39 days!

Man, I forgot I started this thread in this forum. Here is a link to the pics of my animals for this trip. Only got three but it was not for lack of animals. The place I hunted this trip was covered up with animals. it
 was a matter of getting the right ones in the right place.
