Still in the field

Hi all,

Still in the KZN. I've shot another old one-horned bushbuck and an old Nyala.

Photos to follow.

All the stories about how dangerous wounded bushbuck are in the bush are true!!!!!!

Have fun and enjoy the remainder of your trip.

I will let Frank tell the story. But this hunt will be burned into my memory for good. As they say

Is that bullet hole in the bushbuck horn?

If so tell Frank to shoot a little lower.

Nice animals.

Frank:

Nice nyala. Congratulations on the bushbuck. I hunted with Ian Arpil 1-10, and got a nice nyala but could not find a bushbuck. Ian has probably told you we had a lot of cold, rainy weather.

Fine trophies you have there. The Bushbuck has lots of character.

I just got home this afternoon, 25 hours of airplane seats over 36 hours. Not fun!

United lost my suitcase between San Francisco and Bakersfield but the important stuff was in my backpack and the gun case made it.

I'll start writing up the story tomorrow.

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Glad you got home safe Frank. Marathon flight.

Been getting calls since you left about that Bushbuck charge. Word travels fast.
