I wanted to share some pics of our last trophy hunt of the 2017 season.

Paul from the UK joined us for a 10 day hunt for some lesser hunted species and some plains game not taken on previous trips. He's hunted multiple times in Cameroon, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, South Africa, Zambia and Kenya (pre ban) and we were happy to welcome him to the Eastern Cape. Paul's hunting ethic is to hunt wherever possible hunt old, solitary male animals regardless of horn length. We were able to do this with the waterbuck and blue wildebeest who were way past their prime. Paul took some great trophies with the mountain reedbuck being a truly exceptional trophy.

Some fine trophies, Congrats to you and your hunter. Looks like it was a very successful 10 day hunt. I'm sure that everyone was pleased. Bruce
 
Congrats to the hunter and thanks for sharing!
 
Lots of hill climbing for those guys.

Congrats to you both.
 
Nice trophies your client took Victor. The mountain Reedbuck is certainly a beauty.
I notice it has warmed up a bit. Those open hills look like they could be too cold for a north Queenslander.

Thanks Neale Yes, much warmer now. That snow a few weeks back was scary :)
 
Great hunt and beautiful trophies. The view alone from where the waterbuck was would have been worth the trip.
 
Great trophies and gorgeous scenery!

Congratulations. Very nice Vallie too.
 
Congrats to all.
Yes, the lesser sought after animals, just my cup of tea.
 
Congrats to the hunter

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.

Hi EGS

I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
