fantastic hunt and that ole 'pick a spot' He he! it sure pays to wait until your heart slows down a bit before the shot, or else whack a couple of doves first! They're fast enough to calibrate your aim. Well done,

Brian, was Allan there or was he hunting tuskers up on the strip?

Great pictures.
So don't wait until you retire to go hunting and fishing.  Don't even wait for your annual vacation.  Go at every opportunity.  Things that appear urgent at the moment may, in the long run, turn out to be far less so.

Congratulations and well done. I know the "beat yourself"feeling of shooting high or extremely low even at distances that one could almost touch them! I have also just returned from Agagia in Nam. Hopefully I will post a couple of pics up soon. Cheers. Siewho

Mark, Allan and Wayne were each in camp for a week when they were not out with Spanish tusk seekers!

Wow Bao,

That set of Kudu horns in the middle, on the last pic is one serious set of horns. That must've been a beast! Can't be many Kudus left with a set like that. What were the credentials of that animal?

PZee, I think Paul's kudu was 53".  We saw more than a few that were bigger than this.  Paul Brunner shot a 62" kudu and a leopard with Allan and Wayne in (I believe) 2008.

Everything that BAO said is true about hunting in Namibia. DO IT!  It's really not that hard to save for if you put a small amount of effort into it, and hunting in Africa just cannot be beaten in my opinion.  I love hunting whitetails here in the states, and while they are still my favorite animal...I believe I could give up hunting them if I could hunt Africa each year.  
   Start a separate savings account.  Just have $70 dollars or so per week automatically deposited into it out of your paycheck.  You won't miss the money after a month or so.  Before you know it... you will have enough money to hunt in Africa.  EVERY serious bowhunter should experience Africa. Anyone can do it if they really want to!

Those pictures are awesome.  I have every intention of going to SA within the next 10 years.  Do you have the website for the outfitters you hunted with?

Did you get any opportunities to spot and stalk hunt with the San bushman? That is my ultimate bowhunting dream: spot and stalk for Kudu...
Here is the website for Alan's operation:

are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
