Nothing like bowhunting Africa.

Just the impala. After the impala, I was worried about its performance.

Namibia is a beautiful country. The pictures take me back.

Gemsbok are tough and I feel for you with the shot. Your guts drop out.
Running through that bush would certainly be a lesson.

The magic trick with the Steenbok was a good one. Nothing like distraction to help a stalk. Nice job to get in that close..

Thanks for sharing your hunt with us.

Congratulations on your bow hunt.

ps. sad for your buddy on the equipment side. That is a good lesson for anyone reading this report.

Thanks Brickburn.

Yes, it was a hard lesson for my buddy. I believe equipment should be thoroughly tested before put to use. In this case, a little dust or dirt caused his QAD drop away rest to completely fail.

Now that we're home, he's sending the rest and broadheads back to QAD with a nice letter. Then he's going to get a ripcord or Hamskea like I have.

Roy has them, but I don't know how a person could ever spot them in that thick bush. I just got lucky.

Actually, those two were so curious about the shutter noise from my nikon SLR, that they walked right up to me. 10 yards! Of course, I joked with Roy that it had to be the female up front to pose for the camera. Ha!

Also, I'd like to comment that we didn't try to stage the game photos to make the animals look "huge" as I've seen in so many Africa game pictures. John and I both put our hands on those animals or were within arms reach.
