Congratulations!

My Nyala ended up being my favorite after my Impala. Vince

Football has never been my favorite sport. I told a college football player, Linebacker, that football players were wimps. We became friends. 🤣

Bullet construction, design, sectional density are also important factors for consideration. Vince

I guess what I’m poorly trying to say is to shoot the largest caliber you can for your worst case scenario. I discovered that when I get tired I drop my shooting side arm and that causes the bullet to go high. I’ve experienced this before and forgot to take it into consideration when I shot the...

I gave the Zeiss binoculars to Jannie, the Tracker/Skinner here at hunting camp in South Africa. If I come back over, trying for March or April, I’ll just pick up a new pair. Vince

I feel really fortunate to have been able to hunt here. Of everything I’ve had frustrations, luck, blessings, and aggravation. It’s been a smorgasbord of emotions all crammed into twelve days. I missed two Warthogs yesterday. Good stalks and easy shots that I should have made. I was so mad at...

Today I did the tourist thingie again.

G’day. Welcome to the shenanigans. Vince

Hunted Warthog this morning then went to a nature park.
