Hey all, just a quick check in to give an on-hunt report with Chris Troskie. Im on day 2 of a 10 day hunt and took a nice Zebra
yesterday. This morning I took this guy this from about 200 yds out.
Took 3 solid hits from the 404 to finally anchor him. Spotted him yesterday but he gave us the slip.
Tori Toetoe ( my daughter who is on hunt with me ) had her scope on him but he walked off before she could break a clean shot.
Spent the rest of the day chasing a slightly smaller bull, but lost him too. Spotted this guy again this AM and he didnt slip us this time.
59 6/8 raw score on longest side!
Thanks to Chris Troskie of Chris Troskie Safaris for knowing where the big ones live!!
8 days to go! Note the rugged terrain we took him in, I thought Africa was flat! LOL
I'd have been jut as happy for my daughter to take him but she culd not see him from her position so we decided
we would not let him slip away again, no matter which of us had to shoot him!
I cant wait to see what happens the rest of the hunt and will give a full report on my return to the states.
Additional thanks to Hunters Support, Travel Express, and CZ Firearms for a fine CZ550 in 404 Jeff.
