Back from Agagia in Nam
« on: August 23, 2010, 10:45:00 AM »
Just a few pics to share. Had a great time sharing campfire with fellow bowhunters from the US. I felt the warm and the true spirit of bowhunters coming together. I had the priviledge of meeting many new friends who share our  passion for the bush, bowhunting & the love of Christ. Thank you Jen, Lindsy, Bill, Mike, Kevin, Sarah, Pat, Travers, Dave, Mike & Heidi...I might just take up your offer to hunt in the US!!  
I only managed to harvest a Warthog & a Red. But had a wonderful time videoing and taking pictures. I am just helping out Carin & Tielman (owners) to make another "Ültimate Bowhunting Africa II" DVD in readiness for their trip to US Jan next year.
The warthog was a complete pass through at 16 yards. The Red was taken at 12 yards smashing the rib cage on entry and exit severing the aorta. Travellled only about 25 yards and expired. Thanks for looking.
Cheers,
Siewho

Thanks all. The giraffe was at 15 yards the most. We saw a group of five. It was truly magnificent to watch.

That's a good lookin' hog. I imagine I could go for no other animal and still be satisfied with the hunting.

ONLY !!! Look at the choppers on that Warthog and I may be wrong but that looks to be a Dandy Red Hartebeest  :)

Thank you for sharing your great adventure !!!

Heading back to Nam again in 3 weeks. A bunch from our club will be going this time. An exciting time am sure for all who are going...hoping to meet other trad bow hunters whilst there.

I just went last month and shot a Red Hartebeest also. I never even thought about shooting one till I saw them in person. They are some really cool looking animals.

Congrats on your hunt,

Bisch
