Hi guys,

Last year my bowhunting buddy and I went off to Falcon Safaris in the Thabazimbi district to get out of the city and spend a few days bowhunting.

After passing up numerous animals on the first day I took this warthog boar on the second day. He was my first warthog and I took him at 26metres.

During the week I also took two good impala rams.

And then I was also very lucky and priviledged to get a shot opportunity on a beautiful, old bushbuck ram which I just could not pass up.

There really is nothing like spending time in the bush with your friends and family and my friend was truly lucky and got a wonderful opportunity to take a kudu bull and he took it and made a wonderful shot!

He also shot two impala and a vervet monkey, and his girlfriend was converted and was even willing to shoot an impala!

It was an awesome week and I would like to thank everyone that made it possible for us.
I hope you guys will enjoy.

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
