I finally fulfilled a dream that my dad imparted to me 43 years ago, when I was 5 years old: I went on my first African Safari!
I hunted with Limcroma Safaris and had the time of my life! The hunting, staff, food and lodging were simply top notch! I am already planning my return.
Please check out my YouTube videos of my hunts! My channel is 64bowhuntr.
Here is the link to one of the 7 videos I have there:

Great Video and great shot Congrats. Would love to see and read a full hunting report.
I checked out the videos. Looks like you had a great time and took some awesome trophies!
Congrats on a successful hunt, nice video. Like Bob said, give us the story and some still photos.:thumb:
nice safaris happen when you do your home work...
a story by line and some photos would be great...
Great to have another bowhunter on board! Cool video.
Thanks for the video links! Limcroma Safaris runs a pretty good operation!
Congrats. Some fine shooting there.
Very nice Your videos are sweet. What camera did you use?
Believe it or not, it was just a new Sony Cybershot. The new models now have an 18:1 optical zoom that works in video mode. It takes great pics and great videos alike...at a very reasonable price!Quote:

And I used a Mac in IMovie for the effects. I am really new to that, but it worked great.Quote:

You can peruse this camera at this link: Amazon.com: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V 18.2 MP Exmor R CMOS Digital Camera with 20x Optical Zoom and 3.0-inch LCD (Black) (2012 Model): Camera & Photo
That is exactly what I used. It had just come out the week I bought it, in July. I love it for both stills and for the video capability and optical zoom in video mode.Quote:
