You are truly blessed to have lived and hunted in such a wild and majestic land!  Thanks for taking the time to share stories and pics!  Maybe one day I'll get to stalk some African game myself  :thumbsup:

Thanks for taking us. I was pretty much spot on for shot placement which makes me happy.
Ask me about CTO.

Whew!  My feet are tired after all that treking on the hot savanah.  Sure was worth the trip, though!     :thumbsup:  

Happy to say I matched all your dots pretty close except the warthog.  Well, at least I was concentrating on the right spot.  Sometimes my arrows get confused.  I think about where the arrow will exit and that usually works.  I'll remember for next time.     :archer:  

Good stuff.

Very cool Andy, thanks for sharing!!! +3 on the "best hunt I never went on" comment!
To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Absolutely awesome!

Excellent post!  This one really pulls at my heart strings!  I cannot wait to get back over there someday. I told my wife that I would give up deer hunting if I could hunt Africa every year.  She about fell off her chair, but I really think I would.

Andy,Fantastic hunt,Really appreciate the time taken to take us all there.My son just came back from Tanzania,right now I can smell Africa.
I will probably never get there so my son brought me back a Masai spear ,knife and arrows,along with a full Cape Buffalo skull and horns.

I could read this for hours.

Wish I could go there but lack of bow poundage ability "me & 55# max" & lack of $$$ makes it not possible for me.
