Woke up in day three well on the groggy side, but after breakfast and a quick call home to the wife, Jonathan and I headed out on foot once again in search of a nice kudu bull. Shortly we saw two young bulls, and kept walking. After that things got quiet, coming across hyena track and a warthog den but not much game.
Around ten o'clock we spotted some cows and as we kept walking we could hear and faintly make out two small Bulls fighting in the bush.
We returned back to camp shortly after, had brunch, and the usual mid day heat nap.
Once everyone was awake, the boots were on the ground in search of a nice bull. Walking all across the farm plenty of game was seen, and it wasn't until later in the afternoon that Jonathan pointed out a bull feeding in the bush along the road we were walking.
By the time I was on the sticks, I could only make out the bull turning its head and walking off into the bush. We continued on hoping to come across him again, when not much later he was right in front of us sauntering along down the road no idea we were behind him. Quick let getting into position as the bull leisurely walked away, time seemed to stand still as I waited for him to turn. Finally Jonathan gave him a holler, he turned to the left, and was hit with the shot, taking off over a fence into the pasture being grazed by the cattle.
We ran, caught up to him in time to catch him broadside once again, firing another bullet in, dropping him where he stood. Quickly getting to the spot he laid, we could see just how beautiful of a bull he was, and after admiring him, headed off for the bakkie because we were running out of sunlight.
Getting to the farm yard it seemed like everyone around hopped into the bakkie and we took off to load the trophy up. Then we headed up to a beautiful ridge overlooking the farm, with the sun setting in the background for pictures all around.
Back to camp in the dark, dropping this beautiful animal off fo skinning, another lovely Flintbeck supper and plenty of sundowners all around. At this point I must tell you my wife is accusing me of smiling more than in our wedding pictures! But no matter what happens from now on, this trip has been a success in my eyes!
