Africa day 1 and day 2 and day 3 and day 5

We hunted gemsbok today and they are very wary. Luke had a monster gemsbok in range 7-8 times but it was too thick for a good shot. Our first day in Africa was awesome. Here are some pics:

Cool pictures.......

supper sure looks better than Arby's

be safe...h.h.

Awesome pictures...trip of lifetime and to share it with Luke - priceless!

Very cool! Is that a sable in the third picture?

Fantastic, keep the reports coming!!

Very nice, thanks bean

Yes a young sable. Mature one will cost you $13,000.00. We passed lol.

Great adventure!

....but no more photos of water buffalo...PLEASE!

Day 2 update. We started hunting this morning around 5:30am and about 30 minutes in I had a good shot opportunity at this blesbuck. I took him at 150+ yards. As i shot it moved forward at the same time I squeezed and I shot it back. We went up and tracked it and I saw it 75 yards ahead and dropped it.



Luke shot this warthog at 75 yards and basically blew it apart with the 30-06. It was a good hog with 8" tusks. This is fun but I am worn out due to lack of sleep. Luke was a trooper today. We hunted 12 hours non-stop in the heat and rode it out. W will do it again tomorrow.



I am also posting some other pics as well.

AWESOME!!!

Good stuff.... Love the Hog pic

Wow, very nice.....you guys are living the dream!

Great pics!

cool!

I would have needed new shorts after the stare down the cape buffalo!

Very cool adventure to share between the two of you. Great pics, congrats, and keep it up.

Great stuff!

Day 3 was a great success - again!! We started the morning going after the gemsbok from 2 days ago. It is a really old bull and I nicknamed him Houdini because he would just disappear. We walked 7-8 kilometers this morning according to our guide and had the bull at 300 yards once but no shot. We started again after lunch and got on the bull again. This time we had him pegged and Luke shot him at 125 yards the first time with a perfectly place shot. He went and bedded down then got up and Luke nailed him again at 300 yards and the tough bull ran again we caught up with him at 50 and Luke nailed him again. All shot were good ones. Here is the gemsbok bull after recovery. We worked for 2 days for this guy. Also in a pic is our tracker/skinner Edson and Jessie the killer dog.

Pictures speak for themselfs.....good job and keep them coming. h.h.

Congrats! Keep up the great work!

Well, I though Luke was done for the hunt but he received a surprise - a chance at a great Impala. He dropped it as it was facing him at 160 yards.

Congrats Luke!
