Congratulations Mike and thanks for sharing the hunt with us.  You are so right about the impala. Their reflexes and wariness are unlike anything I've ever seen before. We saw one on one of the first days of our hunt and both ph's in camp said it was the biggest one they had ever seen. Four days later I killed it at a waterhole. I saw it coming into the water about 80 yards out and it took him 4-1/2 hours to make 80 yards. Never lost sight of him and he wanted a drink. Just wasn't in a hurry to die for it......... Almost

MIKE

Judging form the great photos it was a fantastic trip. We all know you thrive on the solo hunts but as you say sharing the experiences of the day around the fire at night has some advantages,
Having help after the kill is always a plus   :biglaugh:  

The arrow of 800 grains is awesome . Thanks for having confidence in the TUFFHEAD and making it your choice for the big guy.

Like others, I always admired the still pictures that you take along with your videos. I don't know that I have heard what camera you use for the  still pictures. Just curious as a amateur !

Looks like a great trip. I don't know if I could have passed on the nyala though. Very nice pictures.
