And my wifeshot her first animal ever!! A massive red lechwe ! Pics to come.

I've really struggled to get a gemsbok and zebra , I've prolly walk n stalked a crew of gemsbok for miles over the past 2 days , today I got within 39 yards but the close ones weren't throphy size then the spooked. And the only zebra I've gotten close enough to are mountain zebra which are illegal to import into the USA . Moving camps tomorrow morning in hopes to get a zebra then come back to this area to seal the deal with my gemsbok

Let me know if you want some contact info , next year the PH is coming to America and staying with us . We will have a party where he can show you what kind of hunting they do and costs/ ect. It's not that bad if you pick a few and stick to it. The problem is its hard to stick to the list , so every animal you shoot you can figure another 1000-3000 for taxidermy/shipping as well.

Damn that's a hell of a trip you have had already Mike!

Yeah you can get the taxidermy work done over here in africa or the skulls/capes sent back to USA once they have been salted/dipped ect. I'm having all my animal done over here at a place that is top notch. Lots of the taxidermists over here but this place is a huge outfit tat ate a more artistic approach.

I've killed everything with a 270wsm 130 gr solid copper bullet . If you look at that kudu there is a small hole behind its shoulder that where the bullet was almost through and through on the backside, I cut it out n recovered it. I shot clean through the bontebok @ 350-370 yards . The only thing I won't use it for is a Cape buffalo if I decide to kill one . My wife was shooting a .243 n took that animal @ 100-120 yards

Is every animal you killed going to be hanging on the wall at the new house? You have a kill room set up?

[jchief]

Awesome dude.

Why the silencer?
