nobuffenuffSable RSA, first time shooting with an audience and still recovering from the flight. One shot one kill, one lucky hunter!
Impala in southern Zimbabwe with 308W, 1984 followed next day with a record eland. Field dressed and cut in half 6 of us just loaded each half into the back of the Landrover after digging a hole for the back wheels so as to lower the tray.
We spent the next day on the biltong line with several 100 yards of fence draped with fresh Eland biltong. The best i have ever tasted!

Larry SellersA huge Impala ram taken with a bow in the Northern Province, RSA. Ended up #2 SCI bow and is still in the Top Ten. That got me hooked in a big way.

Eland, Zimbabwe. Had no intention of shooting an Eland, until a heard of blue bulls ran across the road. Glad I shot it, the shoulder mount looks great.
RSA Zebra with JJ Hack. We had just arrived and sighted in our rifles. Shot just before dark. I was hooked.
I hunt, not to kill, but in order not to have played golf....
