Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Lets see some more pictures

After my first safari, I cant see enough pictures or read enough stories!

I will start with a few of my pictures, but lets see yours!

Feel free to take a stab at the size of the animals I took:

First African Animal, Cape Bush Buck


My 3rd animl (second was a cull impala). Probably one of my favorites, a large impala. Pictured with my PH's son and my skinner, Sutu


Then was my Black Wildebeest


Same day, my Cape Red Hartebeeste



Very nice Cape Kudu



Baboon #1


Mountain Reedbok

Baboon #2 (this one was taken with my .257 wby that was influenced by the 'fire)

Casey,
Great pictures, love the Kudu. Of all the animals, they were by far my favorite to hunt. If I were to guess, I would say that Kudu scored 98. Close?

I LOVE these threads.....

Nice pic's and animals, congrat's. Now you will have to add a room to the house and get your next hunt booked.
You are hooked for sure.

Awww but see, I already have a room in my house that I am going to turn into the man room... Mounts, and a pool table!

already started talking to friends about anyone wanting to go in 2012

Very nice stuff Casey. Here's a few of mine, in no particular order.

Mike

Wow very nice pictures. Looks like a long Gemsbock, big ole cow?

That is a cool,unique hartabeeste!

Fantastic Kudu and Sable.

Waterbuck is about number 2 or 3 on my list right now... Awesome animals and I want one bad!

Did somebody say Waterbuck?....



Ingwe

Ingwe--dats the one you nuked with your .270 right...

Dober

Mike-I absolutely love that Sable, what a beaut of a critter!

Ingwe you have one as well don't you?

Dober

Yep...but no .270......



I don't mind being called " The Dinkmeister" and things like that, but saying I shoot a .270 is slander....



Ingwe

Mike,

I love that Sable of yours as well but I really like that Klipspringer. I've said this in the past but I think it bears repeating: the little guys over there can be the toughest trophies to get. Klippies, Vaal Rhebok, and a lot of the Duikers, especially the forest species, can really test your skills as a hunter (notice I did not say "shooter" or "killer"). Not saying that the larger African species can't be a challenge but these smaller antelope can be amazingly difficult to "get in the salt".

Casey: more Waterbuck...



And a cull...



Ingwe

Bowhunter,
Love the Eland. Did you get a chance to try the steaks? Probably the best tasting steaks I've ever eaten.

Here ya go, been posted here before, but our hunt with Cruiser safaris, 2 yrs. ago, in RSA.

I have also posted these pictures before but here you go. Headed back to Namibia June 2011 for a zebra. Not sure what else but have 10 months to figure it out.

Out of all these the springbok was the hardest hunt. Had a real hard time getting close. Ended up taking a 275 yd shot.

Some very impressive trophies, guys. Congrats

I posted mines only a few weeks ago (some already saw some of them) from my first hunting travel, Namibia open range.

And some critters I didn't try to kill:

(This one made me nervous crawling between my legs )

Now I've got that strong disease named 'Post Safari Depression', looking for things to sell in order to start again, looking for eland, steenbok, duiker, maybe some cat, then I guess I'll want something bigger and bigger as long as I can find money for it or try those bow I can't use for hunting anything but foam and paper in my country

Hell, even just for the landscape it worthed the trip.

GV...your last pic reminded me of this guy...taken with a point and shoot 35mm at what seemed like too close range..



Ingwe

Impressive guy ! They are ... big ... especially at close range
