Day 7 of 7 Airport Day

Day 6 of 7 We went to a new ranch called the River Lodge which is connected to the Rocky Mountain ranch. Had a great day looking forward big Kudu or Oryx. Put the stalk on a few Oryx but did not shoot because they were only meat bulls and not trophy bulls. Did not see any Kudu bulls, just Kudu...

I have 3 more hunting days an only one more animal to harvest from the package. But I suppose that is what happens when you shoot two animals...
