Just came back from a 7 days bow hunt in the north of Namibia.
Here is the link of the youtube video of the first 3 days of hunting:


I'm still editing the video from the day 4 to day 7.

I had an amazing time and it was in the middle of the impala and kudu rut.
I managed to get 11 animals including 2 kudus that measured 55" and 57", a very nice warthog and oryx and a monster red hartebeest.

Very nice, It was refreshing to just hear the birds and the sounds of the hunt.
So many videos are now over edited with music blasting over the hunt.

Thanks for sharing
 
Great video and very good animals. Who were you hunting with? Looks like they accommodate bow hunters well.
 
Great hunt. Tell us about your broadhead choice.
 
Stunning photographs!
 
Looks like you had a great hunt! Congrats and thanks for sharing!
 
Congrats on your hunt. Spectacular Kudus!
 
Some nice trophies and great shooting. Congrats.

Great archery trophies, congratulations!
 
Always enjoy your videos, Thomas! Thank you! You have seen and taken some brilliant kudu!

Are you able to share the outfitter details?

And what’s your archery setup? I can see it’s a PSE Stealth. Can you share details of draw length/weight, arrow type/weight, broadhead, sight, release aid?

Cheers!

Hi Ben,

Thanks.
I was hunting with wildernis safari, I posted the link of the website on one of my post earlier.

I'm using a PSE Carbon Mach 1 set at 81lbs, 29.5" DL.

Easton Axis Pro 260 spine, 3 AAE max stealth left helical, 75gr brass insert, 25gr Iron Will collar and 125gr QAD Exodus. Total arrow weight is 586gr at 276fps.

I'm using a Gamin Sight and a Stan Perfex thumb release (luckily I had 2 releases with me as one failed on the 3rd day!).

I shot 11 animals, I did not get a pass through only the 2nd impala on the video as arrow broke the opposite sholder knuckle joint.
 
81 lb draw. That hurts my shoulder just thinking about it [emoji23].

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
