Sitting in Atlanta, reflecting on a few things I confirmed, at least in my mind.
1. In order of superiority......Tafel, Windhoek Lager, Castle
2. Yes, Amarula is great stuff
3. Once again, from best table fare to almost best......oryx, springbok, kudu/mtn zebra steaks, blue wildebeest, hartebeest/Impala. They're all great, some just "more better".
4. A Leupold VX6 is a helluva hunting scope.
5. An 8x32 Cabelas Euro//Meopta Hd is a super great hunting binocular.
6. Namibia has great hunting, great people.
7. Africa Sky Guest House rocks
8. A 160 gr 7mm Nosler Accubond is a fantastic hunting bullet.
9. Gotta give it up to Atlanta......their customs, immigration, gun clearing process is very efficient and painless.

Haha! Ok Fost! First and foremost I cannot say enough good things about the folks at Kowas Safaris in Namibia. First class people in every way. They are people you can trust, and between themselves and the neighbors have huge amounts of land to hunt. The crew is made up of people just like most of us. In fact, you may not be able to pick me out from amongst them......... [img:left] ![[Linked Image]](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t32/JGrimes_2007/20150429_070147_resized_zpsrtut5mvf.jpg) [/img] I've become fond of the management/cull hunts that Kowas offers, which is what I did last year, as well as this year. I wound up killing a couple of hartebeest like this one...... [img:left] ![[Linked Image]](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t32/JGrimes_2007/P1000310_zpsec4hmyhx.jpg) [/img] The neighbor's 35,000 acre place is overrun with oryx ( I hate when that happens). An aerial survey they did at the beginning of the year counted almost 900 of them on his property alone. I wound up shooting 5 of them, 4 of which were of the size shown in the pic below, and one a slightly smaller, immature female. [img:left] ![[Linked Image]](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t32/JGrimes_2007/P1000415_zpsckjp2iex.jpg) [/img] I also managed to take a couple of springbok. I will fess up and say that a small target like this, from the sticks, at 200 yards, is not an easy task for me. It will suffice to say that I made a one shot kill.......after totally whiffing the first try. I don't even know where that first bullet went, but the ram ran off another 1/2 mile before I could take another crack at him. Both springbok looked like this when I killed them....... [img:left] ![[Linked Image]](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t32/JGrimes_2007/P1000525_zpsn15p4ptm.jpg) [/img] ......but eventually wound up looking like this! You talk about mouth watering, tender meat.......these medallions were off the chart great fare. [img:left] ![[Linked Image]](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t32/JGrimes_2007/20150423_191555_zpsyu2a7uas.jpg) [/img] I'll post some more pics when I get them downloaded.

I see that Mattheus is still with Daniel and Ansie. He is an excellent hunter. Did you try for steenbok- Kowas has some real trophies.

I saw loads of those steenbok but didn't shoot one. I wholeheartedly agree on Mattheus....he is an amazing hunter, spotter, tracker. Following the same plan as last year, we would hunt for a big kudu near the hills. Mattheus told me that since the camel thorn trees were dropping their pods, something kudu absolutely love, that we could probably get away with hunting the lower country where the trees and hills met. It looked like this........ [img:left] ![[Linked Image]](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t32/JGrimes_2007/20150427_065311_resized_zpseoudkeec.jpg) [/img] and this.....notice how easily you can see the cow in the photo below. Look closely just above her........ [img:left] ![[Linked Image]](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t32/JGrimes_2007/20150427_172424_zpsxnwtcydy.jpg) [/img] We were slowly still hunting through areas like these when we stumbled into a honey badger approximately 20 yards from us, with a small skunk hanging from his mouth! What a cool sight to see, another first for me. We watched him for probably 5 minutes before he took his food into a big hole. Going another 1/2 mile or so, we jumped 3 kudu cows with a nice bull tagging along. They made it to the top of a hill about 300 yards away, giving us a glimpse of the bull as they scampered over the top and out of sight. Since I only had one full day and a few hours left, we decided to go after him again. We went to the exact place the kudu topped the hill, glassed a couple of minutes, and Mattheus saw the top of a bush moving violently at 800 yards. We waited a minute and sure enough that same kudu bull cleared a small opening at that distance, so we were off again. As you can tell the brush is relatively thick, and actually he got us right in amongst them, having a cow walk by us at 20 yards. One of the most amazing things about Mattheus was that he could see the animals through the brush, which was what he was doing at this time. After spending almost two cumulative weeks hunting with him, I could tell when he was serious just by his mannerisms. He was "on point", staring through a huge thorn brush thicket only 40 yards in front of us. I couldn't see squat quite frankly. After what seemed like about 5 minutes of this standoff, he slowly set up the sticks, motioned for me to slowly get ready, and had me focus on a small opening about 50 yards in front of us. I got ready, Mattheus grunted as the bull stepped into it, looked at us, and I drilled him through the neck (all I could see was neck up), and he folded like a lawn chair, crumpling straight down. All we could do was smile, and I had a big one. What an adrenaline rush that was, as kudu bulls are an addicting creature to me, and I never tire looking at them or for them. [img:left] ![[Linked Image]](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t32/JGrimes_2007/20150427_080325_resized-2_zpsm2f9znfh.jpg) [/img] I never measured him, and didn't care (although Mattheus said he would go about 50). Even though I had killed a 55" bull the year before, and knew this one wasn't that big, I still didn't care. He was a heavy horned bull with deep curls. What a hunt!! [img:left] ![[Linked Image]](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t32/JGrimes_2007/20150427_082515_resized_zpstf3jnuht.jpg) [/img] The 160 Accubond, once again, performed perfectly, held together well, and was found near the bull's stomach, a full 3 ft penetration. All of the 6 bullets recovered from the 11 animals I killed looked very similar. [img:left] ![[Linked Image]](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t32/JGrimes_2007/20150424_200155_resized_zpscncuvwis.jpg) [/img]

Good job, nice pics!
I've got the same fever for you, but its in the US and called Alaska.
Can't get enough of it.
Know how you must feel about Africa then.
Have no desire or urge for it though for some reason, different strokes as they say, so I appreciate the photo threads from the hunts. Nice to see the differing terrain and such as we'll never see it in person.
Booked for next year?

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Cool pic. I saw some while I was there. Absolutely amazing how agile they are to be so big...ran like a horse, jumped like a deer, and 1700-1800lbs....Wow!
