My Marula - tree warthog bowhunt...

[observe]

Here is a picture story of my lucky warthog bow hunt in the Limpopo out of a leafy Marula tree...
[I hunted it with an older 65 lb Jennings bow with 125 gr 3- bladed Muzzy broad-heads at less than 20 m from this tree]

once I'm up the tree,the long ladder is taken down

I'm the one up the tree with the bow......[no baboons this time!]

It's sometimes good to concentrate on something else while up in the tree,just to keep sharp...

the view from the tree through the rangefinder..

Some guinea fowl visited me during the afternoon

warthogs come and go--just too far away...

and go...

and go...

arrow traject...

finally, patients [and luck] paid off!

GOT HIM!

And off course I've got my trusted spear with me all the while for 'just in case!':heh::heh:

My small pocket digital camera is now a permanent part of my hunting kit....

Always best to have the big gun as back up on the dangerous game hunt.


The pictures do tell the story.
Thanks.

half baboon , ha ha ha
l used to think they were an useless accessory aswell buddy,until l fell asleep in my stand on the second last day of hogdeer season last year .
when l woke l was leaning foreward , and had to grab the branch l was hoping to use as my riffle rest . knocked my camera of its twig .
and watched it bounce off every branch on its way down .
went home and ordered one that very night . now it lives in my treestand hunting pack .
