    Today I am getting my hunters out of the blinds and taking them on a wildlife photo session in the Pilaansberg Park, there is so much more to hunting to be experienced than sitting in a blind.
    Today we hunt the Big 5 with the cameras.

      should be a great trip. I've done that. Photo safaris are fun, just not quite as much as shooting them with the bow . Post up some camp pics. Especially of the food . Love the grilled meat over there. Can't wait to get back and have a Castle and grilled Kudu.

      Good luck to the hunters.

          This morning we are in one of the pit blinds again and its been very busy from early on.



          Kudu bull came in and came and stood 5 yards from the hide and walked past so close I could have slapped him on the bum





          Great looking Nyala bull



          Sorry about the poor quality of the photos used the IPhone while in the hide,

          Now we wait for impala or blue wildebeest to come in and drink...

            Hair flied on the shot, waiting for last light and those sneaky big Blue Wildebeest to cone and make a mistake then we will go check on the jackal

                  This morning we are off to a quick start with Impala coming in 30 odd minutes after we are in the hide. As the last day of a hunt should start

                  Robert sent the Valkyrie on its way and it hit the ram perfectly quartering away sending the ram on a death run, pumping blood all the way.



                  Wind changed and I called in the truck, stopped at camp for a quick coffee and got into another hide better situated for the wind conditions.

                  It was again not more than 20 minutes and we have three nice Impala relaxed around the hide.

                  Great decoys for the blue wildebeest and warthog we have left on the hit list...

                      Good morning,

                      Been busy the last few days.

                      a Big Blue Wildebeest bull came in just before light become too bad for shooting.

                      Unfortunately the animal moved at the shot and the arrow hit 1.5 inches low, started off with a good blood trail but as it became dark the blood became less and less.

                      The tracking team followed the bull for probably 2 miles in the dark in the thick brush found the last spots of blood and had to call it.

                      Not a nice way to finish the hunt but if you hunt long enough you will know things goes wrong sometimes and you wound and you need to do your best to find the animal.

                      I have no doubt that the bull will survive and once I have the video edited of the hunt I will share it here.

                      Monday we visited the Marekele National Park.



                      Yesterday was the travel day with a drive north to south again through the Pilanesberg Park with close encounters with elephant and white rhino, taking the trophies to the taxidermy and visiting a shop to buy trinkets before I treated then to the final traditional meal and dropped them off at the airport.

                      Just to give you an idea of the quality of the kudu and other sculls.
