Default my first african bowhunt

So, my 5 day hunt in Limpopo Province South Africa.

I booked the hunt with a small outfitter, Tau-Nkwe safaris and we hunted at Karoi gamefarm in Nylstroom near Kranskop mountain. A 2000 hectare hunting estate with all the antilope species and more.
This strictly bowhunting concession would me my base for the 5 day hunt.
We arrived around 3 in the afternoon and by 5 I was the blind. After 30min waterbuck females came in to check out the waterhole and the little luzerne left from the last feed. A nice group of females and young males, easely spooked...even by a little gust of wind, real wild animals, this wasn't going to be easy.
My PH and outfitter wouldn't let me shoot anything less then decent trophee quality. And I was here for horns and not for meat, so we let them pass. My day ended well, because where there are females, there are big rams......
