Our Trip To Eastern Cape

Hi everyone,

Just freshly back from hunting the Eastern Cape with KMG Safaris and what a fantastic trip it was.
It was my 4th trip to the dark continent, my wifes 3rd and our second trip with Blacks and his wife who also took their 2 daughters along for an extended holiday.

I used my Winchester M70 in 416RM with 400gr Woodleigh Hydros and Kimber Select Classic loaded with 180gr Woodleigh PP's.

My wife also took her first African animal.

Anyway, here are some pics of the animals we took. Hope you enjoy.....

At least y'all didn't shoot my red hartebeest. Seriously, that bushbuck looks like a giant!

Nice work guys. I thought you were going back to Namibia.

The hunting imperative was part of every man's soul; some denied or suppressed it, others diverted it into less blatantly violent avenues of expression, wielding clubs on the golf course or racquets on the court, substituting a little white ball for the prey of flesh and blood.
