KUDUBULLHunt with Matthews Outdoor Adventures in Namibia
We just returned from Namibia and once again had a blast and returned with excellent trophies. There were 6 of us on the trip and 4 were 1st timers to Africa. Highlight was taking my dad and seeing him take his frist african trophy. Not to mention a huge Eland and "hogzilla". Over 30 trophies in all and we had a great time. As soon as I get the pictures done, I will post a complete report with pictures.
Good Hunting!

KUDUBULLHis first trophy was a 37" bull Gemsbok. He made a great shot at about 180 yards. He also took a 50" Kudu that he made a 150 yard crawl to get to, a very good warthog, a 15" springbok, and 23" impala with the last shot on the last day of the hunt. Given the fact that he is 67 years old, but thinks he is 20 and the fact he had eye surgery 7 months ago. I was extremely proud of his shots and what a memory we will have forever. One of the other hunters was alos a good friend of ours and he is 70 and he took the same animals, but he also took a blesbok, and a huge hartebeest. They both had a great time!

yukon deltaThat sounds like some great family memories. You can never have too many of those. You are fortunate to have those memories with your dad.

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
