With a very busy season behind me I was going trough some photos, and then picking out the best experiences/highlights of the season. Here follows some of them with a short description.

They are not the biggest trophies but they were very fun memorable hunts.


Meeting Terry Blauwkamp and hunting with him and on the first full hunting day on the first morning we manage this nice double on management animals.


Young Thomas with a very proud grandfather and his first ever antelope or anything bigger he has shot over a rabbit. I'm sure me and Charl just know he his going to grow a proper hunter from now.


This blesbuck ewe as management kept me and the client Ashley on its tracks after a almost fatal shot for more than 3 hours. It was tough but we found her in the end ending it at short range in the tall grass.


Christer (CChunter) shot this management wildebeest cow but look at her size, she was huge.


Christer again with a very nice impala ram shot with bow from our own blind we set up the previous day.


7 Swedish hunters one week and look at the result dead tired PH's and very happy hunters, I'm sure myself and Charl will never forget this one.


A management widebeest taken with a homemade double made by the Andreas the Swedish client in 45/70 caliber as well, shot at very close range. We got close to a lot of game but it had to be extra close what a challenge it was.


Andreas again with what is the biggest mountain reedbuck I have ever laid eyes on (live) and luckily there was no hesitation from his side when he saw how exited I got when I spotted it.


The warthog in the middle gave us a full on charge bowled Paul from Sweden the client over his feet only breaking his left toe next to the big toe. A relief and a hunt we will never forget.


Peter or beter known as PeterDK on AR with good luck and a super Serval cat. I have only seen them live in zoos before.


Another management animal and again we got a full on charge with this wildebeest that broke my shooting sticks. Mike from Wales 20 years old was high on adrenaline that whole night after the incident.


Matz, from Sweden is not really a hunter but joined his friends on this trip and after a couple of mistakes and a miss or two on the last day and the last chance we connected with this nice impala ram with a excellent shot. Look at that smile I think we celebrated more with this impala than we did with the other trophies. Comraderie could not have been beaten on this trip.

BTW as you can see a lot of the moments are made up with management animals they hunt just as hard they just dont have the correct headgear according to SCI rotflmo

I always try to use enough gun but then sometimes a brainshot works just as good.
