GREAT blog and very well put together.. CONGRATS.. not bad for a guy from "down under" ..:D Beers:
 
Congrats on your blog and your hunt Chris !
 
Excellent article with some fantastic fotos of the Eastern Cape area. AWESOME trophies and a very good read so far... congrats to hunters and PH 's alike.
 
Great report. thanks for posting. You are one heck of a good photographer. Well done.....................FWB
 
As much as I would like to, I cant take all the credit for the Photos, though I did take a lot of them, the very best of them were taken by Jaco Vermaak and Greg Betts from ITZ media. I learned long ago that you often forget to or just aren't capable of taking the photos you would like to have as memories of your hunting trip, so now I invest in a good photographer where I can. I can honestly say they have taught me a lot about photography and my ability to take good photo's has improved, remembering to take them is another thing. I have also found a good photographer/ videographer invaluable in tracking and finding lost game, but that is the subject of an upcoming blog post so stay tuned.
I am glad you guys like my blog, I do enjoy sharing my experiences with other like minded souls.

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?
