Lack of skills – by practice. Lack of experience – by time doing it. One cannot cure: Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules!

I took this guy last August in Botswana. I was hunting with Wild Game Safaris (www.wildgamesafaris.com). He looked absolutely unreal in the field. Like a Cape Buff among wildebeast. Shot him through the shoulder with a muzzy and he ran 40 yards and piled up within sight. I am extremely pleased with him. At the time we taped him at a little over 33". Can't wait to get him up on the wall. I might enter him in SCI, might not.  Tom Addleman tom@dirtnapgear.com | |||

I just might. My PH seemed to think it might go #1 with a bow. That would be something. Tom Addleman tom@dirtnapgear.com | |||

The #1 in Roland Ward is 33 7/8. There could be a change however. A client and I both took Blue's in that class this past June out of the same herd. We both used rifles however. Taking yours with archery...priceless! Congrats T.

David, What's the current SCI #1? I might have to do some research. Tom Addleman tom@dirtnapgear.com | |||

There was an article in Magnum sometime in the late 90's, with the record being broken close to Alldays by an American or German hunter. I can not recall the details, but I used to know the PH very well. We lost touch, but his name is Tim. He had a German surname, if I remember correctly.....Updated records should give this info as fact. www.infinito-safaris.com Charl van Rooyen Owner Infinito Travel Group www.infinito-safaris.com charl@infinito-safaris.com Cell: +27 78 444 7661 Tel: +27 13 262 4077 Fax:+27 13 262 3845 Hereford Street 28A Groblersdal 0470 Limpopo R.S.A.

A while ago there was a photo of a monster wildebeest as well in the African Outfitter magazine 33" + I think shot in the same area as well. But the 33"+ with a bow is quite a feat in itself. Trophy of a lifetime.  Frederik Cocquyt I always try to use enough gun but then sometimes a brainshot works just as good. | |||

T, you'll want to have him scored no later than the last day of this month. That is the deadline for the next SCI records book. Should be within the top 1-3 Archery unless some sleepers are entered.
