I recently had the pleasure to take a friend and his son on a hunting trip. This was the perfect excuse for another friend from Germany to join us, and of course my own son joined us as well, as it is school holidays. This is the results more from the boys perspective, as I think they enjoyed it the most by far! (Of course the adults also had a ball!!!) We hunted in Southern Namibia, close to the town of Keetmanshoop, where I grew up. IMO this is a very underrated hunting destination. Let the pics tell the story!

This was his 3rd gemsbok, but by far his best shot ever on a gemsbok.

Fantastic stuff. I would like to take my son (11 now) to Africa one day. My 14 yr old girl and my boy have come with me to shoot fallow deer & goats. "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

Nakihunter, both boys are about 11 years old, Sean turned 11 earlier the year, and Edrich will be 11 early in September. And I must add they both did great! They shot 5 animals between them with 6 shots, only Sean's springbok requered an extra shot. The silencer works very well in taming the .308's recoil, though it was a schlep to handle. (Springbok was shot with my .243) Karl Stumpfe Ndumo Hunting Safaris www.huntingsafaris.net karl@huntingsafaris.net P.O.

Good Stuff Karl! Was that Zirk's place? 30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking. | |||

 Adam, no it was not Zirks place. I have hunted myself on it before, but never with clients. It looks like we will have around 90 000 acres around there to hunt, fly camping mostly. I will try and find more photos of the terrain and the camp, and post them as well. (We also hunted on the farm I told you about that my father bought in 1998 just before he died.)

Karl, First up give a big thumbs up to Edrich on a super kudu you must be very proud.  Secondly your cruiser looks bloody good it took me a while to realize it was yours. Adam, How are you ? I will be putting something together of your dads killing spree on video sometime soon just be patient. Frederik Cocquyt I always try to use enough gun but then sometimes a brainshot works just as good. | |||

Hi Frederick, I've been doing well. How about you? Been meaning to post a hunt report from our hunt with you and Karl, but since it basically a journal from when I started planning to coming home, its ballooned into way more than I intended. Need to edit for posting. Looking forward to the video. Please let keep me posted as I would like to get a CD of it for Dad. Thanks! Adam 30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264.
