A few buddies and me visited a HUGE hunting farm near the Kruger National Park a few years back. I manage to walk and stalk a young impala ram to within 40 yards. The shot placement was OK, and a found him within a 100 yards or so. Only then did I realize there were only 2 hours or so daylight left. Well, I gutted the ram to get rid of some extra weight to enable me to still make the trip to the nearest road before it’s to dark to see anything. At first I manage to cover longer distances, but later on I had to rest more often resting the “backpack” impala against a tree. With the bow being extra weight I decided to hang it in on branch and return for it later. My mind was set on getting back to the road and nothing bothered me in the near dark until I had to rest yet again. At firs I thought it was just a small animal or something making the noise, but when I realized it was a spotted hyena the impala suddenly felt a lot less heavy. Well, the hungry crowd behind me grew to something between 3 and 5, trying to intimidate me with their creepy giggling-growling-rattling growls. Gaining confidence in numbers and steadily closing the gap, I decided that we really didn’t need camp meat that bad and got rid off the impala. When we later returned the remains wouldn’t even feed a Jack Russell. Alone, without your bow or any instrument to defend oneself, ya well, what would you have done?
