I wouldnt shoot any higher than that but it worked out perfectly. It ran about 50mt and piled up behind some brushes. I've got it on video but having some trouble uploading the mp4 file. My Ph has never seen a giraffe go down and pass as quickly as this one did
I guess the aorta hit was as...

Well folks, thanks for the input. The hunt was more successful than I could have imagined. After near 10 stalks during the day I finally got within range of the target bull. Will post a more detailed report on another post
Hey fellow arrow flingers. I am hunting a bull giraffe in a few months time and was wondering on arrow selection, or more importantly arrow spine selection.
I am using my hoyt nitrum at 29inches and 72lb.
I am using 200gr or 180gr german kinetics up front. And im using the easton dg fmj...
Hey guys, I just spotted this chat. Ive been using the t3's for a number of years and used them successfully in Africa in 2013.
The PH was a bit skeptical at first, so we moved up the critter scale starting at impala, warthog, porcupines, then onto a blue wildebeest cow and a waterbuck cow...
HI all,
I hunted with Hayden in 2012 and harvested the magnificent rusa you see in his avatar. He is enthusiastic and keen to make your experience one in a lifetime. he certainly knows his quarry, and will do all to get your trophy of a lifetime, just like mine. he is the current No17 in the...
Thanks for the kind offer, alas the hunt has been and gone.
I did not end up taking the longbow as the airline I was flying with was going to charge me an exorbitant amount for excess luggage to take it on the plane on top of my check in luggage, plus the land owner was not keen on trad...
Not all hunts are for the biggest heads,
This old warrior will adorn my bow hunting clubs new clubroom for a long time, being admired by many dreaming of a trip to the dark continent.
For a change those bloody baboons helped me out!
enjoy

Hi there, I just wanted to share a vid of a recent bow hunt I had with Andrew Shoeman of Baobab hunting. I was asked to shoot the cow as a management animal and camp meat. Myself and my friend that hunted there ate him out of biltong and drywors, so we had to restock the larder.
6%...
Hey Bluey,
Shame you cant get up here, its nice and warm at the moment. Good luck on the rusa mate, they are cunning buggers that's for sure. I finally got the panel score of mine, and it went 223 1/8 making it 17 in the ADA record books. Im kinda happy bout that one. Let me know when...
Hi all,
For those "upsidedowners" attending the Queensland Hunting and Outdoor Expo - Australian Deer Association (ADA), I will try and organise a gathering at the Saturday night hunters dinner, after the formalities. Please PM me or reply to the thread and we can get the ball rolling. It...
yeah mate, that's the one. I wont hijack your thread but I want to organise a get together of AH nutters at the Saturday night hunters dinner. I will post this elsewhere.
welcome aboard fellow cane toad!
If it possible there is also too much info on this site, but any question you ever need answered this is the place for it. Hope your attending the ADA show in October, I will be there with a booth for my friend's safari business. Good luck with the firearm...
Hey there all you trad shooters out there. I am doing a trip in the end of sept on the Limpopo province for some plainsgame, mainly smaller stuff inc warthogs impala, blesbok etc. I am taking my favourite stick bow, a lovely great plains longbow, 58lb @28in.
I have been shooting it with...
you are just living up to your name of bluey (that was our nickname for em) with the questions. Im sure chital and rusa can live in the same environment. I am no deer expert, but im sure rusa browse and graze like sambar, and chital graze more like fallow, so competition would be limited...
hes 34 in long with 14 in brows, Still waiting for the official score, but about 225d/s. They go off their head when rutting. theres awesome footage on one of the aussie bowhunting forums of a fella darting a stag when he is brawling with another stag. he drops then the other stag proceeds...
bugger, been doing that re the pics. that's the one in my album. To this day I don't know why I labelled him as a sambar. He's a pure wild central QLD rusa, not one of Angas' pets that hang round the Hilton. Not that im adverse to dropping some of watervalley's finest.
Heres one more go, its...
he sure has a good set of brows that's for sure! I havnt been inland for quite some time so do not know the jo blake status sorry. The rusa have rubbed out in central qld, just. A mate is heading to the same property with my mate hayden of unique adventures in two weeks time to catch em...
This is not a hunting clip, but of some unusual footage i wanted to share with all those who love african wildlife! please
watch it all as there is some unforgetable footage of a leopard you may never see again! enjoy
The deer are on an island that only has fences to keep the game out of areas, not in.
There is tags in the young ones ear, but these are used by the island and government authorities for study purposes. As i mentioned in a prior response, we tag a number of calves each year on the island to...
thanks for the interest spike.t
the island is a co-operativly owned reserve in Gippsland called Para park, the hog deer, or axis porcinus is found all along the south east coast of Victoria, Australia. the island has a website Home
Hog deer are a small deer, males standing around 66cm at...
not a problem gentlemen. As you can see they are a magnificient little creature with an attitude as you can see the spiker has been put in his place. Not too mention they are also one of the best eating deer i have ever encountered! they are truly wild animals on this island, as they have...
its frustrating when there is so many warthogs that you cant get a shot off for 45 minutes on the tenth day of your hunt,NOT. you gotta love hunting in africa
