Hi Cowboy
Spent my first 21 years in Scobey MT and MSU.
Since then have been moving south. Now I am in Colorado and am mostly a bow hunter but I am still on training wheels

.
My first trip to SA was with a bow and I also had an Impala on my list.
The second time I went I did it with a 300wm so I could get out and see more of the country.
Take what you can with a STICK!!!! But either bring your rifle as needed.
With a bow I left my impala there but I did get it the second time.
This is the shot that left it in SA. A half inch higher and I would have spined it and it would have been mine.
Was so pumped that they were videoing my hunt. Found out above it was to prove I hit the animal or not. Got great videos of the other three trophies.
300 WM went about 30 yds.
Would be happy to answer any question PM me.
Tom
