Bowhunting Africa for me was a long over due trip. I had been trying to get over there for years. Luckily my buddy Tony convinced me to go on this trip with him and his boys. The folks at Limcroma Safaris are a Five Star Operation from the meals, accommodations to the bowhunting. All together we took a total of 24 animals in 7 days
On my impala hunt I was hunting out of a large pit blinds at a small water hole. The impala comes to the water from left side of the blind from 300 yards. Instead of approaching from the left, he skirts the water hole and comes in on the right side of the water hole. I hit him low but the impala is hit well enough that he goes 15 yards and dies in less than 10 minutes. I was very fortunate that the impala did not go anywhere since I did not have an unobstructed follow up shot from my shooting window. The reeds on the video are pretty thick from my shooting lane. It wasn't until I reviewed the video that I realized I should have been ready for a follow up shot on the window that my PH "Otto" was filming from. By the way if anyone goes to Limcroma Safaris and get assigned Otto as your PH, consider your self lucky. He has vast knowledge of the anatomy, bow hunts and has some mad skills with the camera.
