Waiting for Joe’s impala to present us with a shot—with a .375 shell between my fingers in the unlikely case Joe would need backup:

The velvety green landscape with giraffe necks sticking out of the vegetation... can you spot them?

Thank you very much for sharing this hunt with us @Tom Leoni and a very well deserved Waidmannsheil ! But the star of this hunting report definitely is that gorgeous falling block rifle. Would you care to share a few more pictures and perhaps some history or information on it in a separate thread? It is gorgeous!

Thank you for your report. Are you a professional writer? If not please consider entering the profession!! All I can say is “Wow!”. I am writing a report for my recent trip to Namibia. It looks pretty plain in style compared to yours. I will trudge forward and hope you enjoy the content. Thanks again for a truly artistic report! Your friend, Brian
