OK, I finally figured out how to paste the photos again. These are the photos of my South african hunt. In the Wildebeeste photo, thats Manzi our tracker in the middle and Gerald the owner at the end. It took seven long hard days of tracking and stalking for miles and crawling through brush that had really long thorns and couldn't get a shot at a wildebeeste, but on the eight day we found this bull alone, under a tree and shot him at less than 50 yards in the chest. We wouldn't have seen him if it wasn't for the two Impalas that ran toward the tree that the bull was under. He ran about 80 yards and dropped. I was told he was an old bull that got kicked out of the herd by the younger bulls. The Nayala I got on the second day after passing up over 60 bulls that were either to small or had uneven horns. We were actually stalking wildebeeste when we got busted by them and they ran off. The Nayala was eating behind a tree with a smaller bull and walked out in the open. The sun was going down when I got him. The Kudu was in the company of 7 cows on the morning of the 4th day. We set up on him and just before I was given the word to shoot he ran off but stopped after going about 10 yards. He stopped and looked back at us. Big mistake. He ran about 100 yards and died. All three animals were shot with 180 grain Nosler Partations out of my 300 WSM Vanguard. Not one bullet was recovered. The black lab is a hunting dog in training. He found the kudu in the grass. The people were great, the lodge and food was also great. The flight sucked the big one because total time round trip in planes was 60 hours. All in all I had a great time. Russ
