Just back from a family visit with our friends in RSA. We did a little hunting and good bit of fishing and a lot of relaxing. Last morning before we left for the airport it was my turn. Johan and I last hunted together 18 years ago but it felt like yesterday. We both prefer to walk and take what the circumstances give us. The wind was a bit swirly and the leopard tracks we saw the afternoon before combined to make the game a bit nervous. We got busted trying to get a shot at an impala that was part of a small bachelor group and noticed this old one horn way down the truck trail when we backed off them. I love an old animal like this so we set off closing the distance. Quickly fortune turned our way and we caught sight of the original bachelor group again and I made a solid quartering away shot at 50 or so yards. I was using a borrowed 308 with a suppressor so we marked our spot and backed out to see the original subject of our stalk still along the track a bit over 200 yards away. Let's try said Johan, so off we went. Looped back into the brush to close the distance and popped out again at 166 yards on Johan's rangefinder binoculars, I took a sitting position with the aid of the sticks leg and made the shot. 2 impala down, we called the truck and tracker and recovered both quickly before the heat started to build again and it was time to leave. So great to be back after so long. My 13 year old son took a blue wildebeest and a female impala for camp a few days earlier and is now hooked so we are already making plans for next year.https://imgur.com/6cShF2d
