well done,

Nice hunt you had.


Wishing you many more to come.

Yes, it was a really good hunt with a great PH in a beautiful lodge. I loved it and hope to be back either this coming year or next.

Bluey how far was the shot on your kudu and how many shots ? I see you only have 2 arrows left in your quiver.

gday jeff we were watching him and four girls as we stalked in from 90 odd metres .
it was blowing and raining this day , tho it it doesn't look like it in the photos, the shot was 30 odd metres there was a branch right in the way and l tried to slipp it under it for a heart shot .but it clipped it and hit him in the throat ,severing his windpipe and jugular viens either side .
nico the ph thought it was a flesh wound , but when the arrow hit him the way he shuddered I knew it was lethal ,plus the fact he turned and ran straight through a tree and just bolted
I didn't exactly know where it hit at that point ,just was going off his reaction to the shot........
we waited 15 minutes , in that time the drizzle stopped and the sun came out , before that it was a shit of a day(perfect bow stalking weather ,imo)
when the tracker came up to us there wasn't a whole lot of sign as the rain distorted the running marks .
with in 90 metres,john the tracker was pointing blood splatters which were looking bigger and better every step .
maybe 40 metres after that he was laying in a pool of his own blood.
l only had 3 arrows in my quiver that morning , cant remember why that's all l had,but for some reason that's all I grabbed , the arrow that l killed the kudu with was never recovered.
they measured him in the skinning shed and said he was 48 inches .
they also got real excited about him being the first kudu stalked with archery in 24 years at citedal ,
even young dries kept telling me that a kicked a goal that day.
the hunt was with dries visser safaris in Limpopo ,in may 2010
that same day id blown three different stalk , one on a zebra, another on blue wildebeest, and another kudu , which I backed out of as his left horn was busted off half way up , he was maybe 54 on his good side ,
we had him cold ,mate . he never even knew we were 45 metres from when we backed out .
after recovering him , and taking him to the butcerywe sat in a blind for like 20 minutes and we got a big old gemsbok girl . the rest of the day was spent drinking beer ...................
