I'm back!!! Africa was amazing AGAIN!!

[Grizz1219]

Sorry it took so long to post pics...

 

 

Black Wildebeest, took him at 290 yards with a 10-20 mph wind, T/C Pro hunter in 338 WM, federal Fusion 225 gr. If scored in SCI he would be the #104 in the world... I was happy...

 

 

 

 

My buddies wife (who was bow hunting) asked me to shoot one of these for her.. It was cool but they get the leather and feathers.. (Biggest turkey I'll ever kill LOL) Shot him at 125 yards with the 338 WM.

 

 

My wife took this ancient Red Hartebeest at 210 yards with her T/C Pro Hunter in 25-06 with Federal Fusion 120 gr.

 

 

 

And 3 hours later she shot this 22" impala at 80 yards and dropped him where he stood.

 

 

 

I took this 52" Kudu bull at 75 yards, he was the biggest they've taken so far this year.. I was pumped to say the least..

 

 

Then I took this GIANT blue wildebeest at 40 yards, he's 31.5" wide and we scored him and found out he would be #64 in the world SCI if I entered him.. My PH was jumping up and down and taking all sorts of pics to prove it.. LOL

 

 

Some people know when I take an animal I will always put my Dad’s old watch on it.. To me it symbolizes him getting to put his hands on it.. I don’t usually take a pic of it.. It’s just something I do for me.. But Sally was there and took this pic.. This is where I actually shot him.. Walla (My PH) wanted to move him to a better place for pics so he went back and got 3 skinners to help load him into the truck… It took all of us to get him in..

Grizz,

 

I have never had a desire to Hunt Africa but after viewing your photographs its awfully tempting!  Congratulations.  You did an exceptionally nice job of presenting your trophies to the camera.

[PWGUNNY]

Great pics.  You really had some great action.  You're lucky to be able to travel to Africa for hunting and a wife that HUNTS makes you double lucky.  Nice job.

I have never seen the alure of going to africa but seeing pics like this makes me want to go.Maybe one day after my baby girl(now 13) is through college and making big $$$$ as a doctor she will send me.......or I will just pony up the dough and go!!!LOL

Great pics….congrats!! Whats the weather like there?? Crazy hot??

[VT Outfitter]

Looks like you and your wife had a great trip, it looks so fun, maybe some day I my get the opportunity to go on safari. Nice photos!

[Grizz1219]

To be honest, including airfare this trip is about 15 grand. I bought a donated hunt that saved me huge money then just worked the other animals out with the owner. I paid a lot less than 15 grand.
