I hunted South Africa in Messina area together with Jasper Coetzee Safaris in the beginning of october. We had a great hunt and the weather was quite hot, between 32 and 42 Celsius.



Here are some photos, Stories will follow.











We walked along a wet area as we saw this Wartie standing right in the water, we moved closer and at about 50 meters I took the shot just as he started to move, he was down directly but was kicking. So I took out my knife and walked out in the water, put my left boot on one of the tusks and stabbed him from the front. The water was instantly red and the pig was dead. This was onme of eight warthogs I shot during this hunt.























That was a great Bushbock of 16 and a half inch. We wer looking for pigs with a spotlight when we saw him laying down under an orange tree, I walked towards him outside the light beam and as he got up and started walking I shot him at a distance of about 12 meters.

Very nice Christer, the eland are awesome! Nice bushbuck too. What did he measure?

Is the impala your first bow kill?

I am sure everyone will want to know the details of your warthog knifing. That includes me, don't spare the details.

Christer

Congratulations

Hope you had great time Was the warthog taken with knife?

New rifle or the old 6,5?

Cheers

Congratulations! You have shot the bushbuck of 2 lifetimes!
Tell all about the wartie hunt.

Yes, at least I count the Impala as my first real bow kill.



The Bushbuck measured about 16,5 and it was easy to see he had been a real fighter.



The warthog got a good shot but were still kicking so I had to try the "pig knife" i broughtwith me. It worked better than expected, and we have it perfectly on video (cameraman - Frederik Coqcuyt (Safari-Hunt))

Christer:

Nice animals and photos! I was pleased to see that you're giving the Safari Ching Sling a workout. Are you still pleased with it? Any problems or issues with it so far?

Eric

It works just great. I have it on all my guns and I won't change it until you introduce something better (if that is possible, I doubt it)

Congratulations Christer,
You took some great animals. That bushbuck is really serious. I'm glad you had such good pig luck too.

Take care,
Kyler

Christer,

I'm glad to hear and see that your trip was such a success!

Were you building a fire to camp overnight next to the giraffe?

Erik D.

Thanks Kyler



I just need to better my results in California



Erik



I will write down the full story about the Giraffe later but I just tell you now that we stayed there from 5 PM (17) to 3 AM (03), so the fire was needed

Fantastic photos Christer.

Since you keep losing weight, can I have your old hunting clothes?

Look forward to your video.

Very nice Christer!



Interesting to see if the official stories are the same as the ones you told me...



Regards,

Martin

Very, very cool! Congrats on a great hunt!

Christer:

Are you using the SCS mostly off-hand or from supported positions (sticks, kneeling, etc.)?
