Good job! Glad everything worked out! Casey’s a good dude! Casey was awesome! I was very nervous about it but he exceeded expectations. Highly recommended if you are inclined to hire a guide. Cross Country Guide Service is his company name. We spent one day together and it felt much more like hunting with a friend than a hired guide.

Wow! Congratulations to both of you. I loved hunting with my daughter.
What kind of tripod set up and how far was the shot? . Bog Pod Death grip. It belonged to Casey, but I may have to buy one. They are nice! 167 yards and she clipped the top of the heart.

Special congratulations on using my favorite cartridge. My favorite also. I’ve owned five of them now and this one may be my favorite, but I’m afraid my daughter has taken a liking to it……..

Shot one in Africa years ago. Good meat on one of those and they make a really neat mount. Well done to the young huntress.

Congratulations! Very curious on the length of the bull. I shot a female and a bull in Botswana. Would like to know how they compare. Your bull looks very heavy. Compression rings? Fantastic hunt!

Congratulations! Very curious on the length of the bull. I shot a female and a bull in Botswana. Would like to know how they compare. Your bull looks very heavy. Compression rings? Fantastic hunt! Several friends have asked me about the horn length and the honest truth is that I never measured them and they are now at the taxidermist. Size just wasn't a big concern, I guess. I did a quick "finger" measurement in the field and I think they are just under 30". Casey said the thought the bull was quite young, maybe only 2 years old, as he had no obvious rings on the bases of his horns. We definitely were not on a trophy hunt!! Casey asked my daughter early in the day, what she was after as far as size and bull vs cow, broke horn, etc..... Her response was that she would shoot the first one that stood broadside!! I think he looks bigger than he is, due to the fact that my daughter is quite small.
