She was shooting her 7mm/08 loaded with Barnes 140 gr Tsx. I was shooting .300 wing Mag load with Barnes 168gr TTSX. We hunted hard and out PH was awesome especially with Kacee as most of the animals were taken from 150-200 yds off shooting sticks. The weather was 40-69 degrees it was incredible hunt and already trying to figure out how to return. she took the blue on stalk with ph and well placed shot from the 7/08 she had her first African trophy, we went back for lunch at the lodge which was first class. Later in the afternoon she took a great Kudu Scott

You took some excellent animals and got a taste of what some of us have been touting for years. Africa is All That. To those who keep saying "maybe", "someday", "I wish", JUST do it, and do it soon. Things are changing rapidly in Africa. Next year might be too late. Again, it looked like a great hunt, and I sure thank you for sharing it with me.
