Well we made it out of Africa. We lost a day and a half of hunting thanks to Delta Airlines, but Im not gona get into that now...My dad, our buddy and I arrived in Joburg with great weather, It felt like a typical late October early November hunt with cold mornings and cool evennings. Long story short the buffalo hunt just didnt work out. Swirling winds really made it a dangerous situation. We all agreed it just wasnt meant to be this year, so with a few days remaining I met up with the guys at camp to hunt plains game. My first morning in a tree, my PH Thomas and I saw several duiker, nyala, and even monkeys, but nothing worth an arrow. The evenning was better, I passed up 3 45-50 inch Kudu bulls in hopes of an opportunity at a 60+ incher that was on the farm. I got back to camp and found that our buddy killed a warthog and an impala and dad killed a 54 inch kudu. I already had some catching up to do. Dad was heading north to Botswana to hunt a lion with his PH Jacques. The next morning I nearly got a shot at the 60 inch Kudu bull but at 30 yards a bit of sickle bush saved his life. As the short day progressed I had an opportunity at a great looking Waterbuck. He gave me a 25 yards shot and I made a perfect shot and he went 120 yards and fell. We found out Joe killed a 48 inch Kudu. The next morning Joe continued the slaughter as he connected on a nice wildebeest and an impala. At last light I shot a monstrous Wildebeest at 20 yards right in the crease broadside. Unfortunately this perfect deer shot is actually a gut shot on African game. The PH said he will die, but it wont be quick. This really made me sick. Although, I felt much better finding out my dad had killed a 450 pound lion that day. All in all it was a great experience for all of us. More pics to come!

Fantastic photos! Thanks for sharing.

P.S. What broadheads were you guys using?

Congrats!!! Great pictures.

I GOTTA DO THAT SOME DAY!!!

Do you eat lion meat? What happens to all the other meat from all the other kills?

Thanks for sharing the story, I can only dream of Africa. Maybe some day I will make it

Great story! Great Game!

My dad and I use Montecs. Our buddy uses 4 blade Muzzys. Im really thinking about switching to the Muzzy 4 blades after seeing the devastation they do.

Rick, the lion meat was terrible. The PH said the best way to prepare lion meat is to let some rocks sit in boiling water, drain the water, throw the meat on the rocks and after 30 minutes take the meat out and eat the rocks. [:'(]The "indians" took alot of the meat from the lion and some from the others, even the guts and intestines. Nothing was wasted. Wildebeest and impala was good, waterbuck wasnt very good at all.

Thanks PSE. I like the rock comment. lol

Great pics and great animals pse!!!! Congrats!!!
