I will post pics as soon as I get back to a good wifi signal, but we are halfway through our hunt, and I am having a blast hunting PG with my double. So far have takes 2 warthogs (45 and 46 yards), an old kudu (40 yards), a blue wildebeest (67yards) and a gemsbok (116 yards). All have been one shot kills with 469 gr CEB Raptors. This definitely added a new dimension to a PG hunt. Can't wait for today to start ...


Good Hunting,

Went all iron sights today as I had been using my Docter red dot. Took a 37" gemsbok bull at about 40 yards and a cull wildebeest at about 30. Neither went more than 30 yards. Gonna shoot birds this afternoon and then spend thefts 3 days hanging out and not shooting unless I get a chance at a zebra or eland. BEGNO killed a stud eland this morning. Upload speed is too slow here for photos. Maybe when we get back to Joburg.


Good Hunting,

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!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

shot my last animal of the trip today. Stretched the .470 out to 164 yards and dropped a big zebra stallion in his tracks. This has been a great hunt...
