SOUTH AFRICA: Stellar Safari With Kei River Hunting Safaris

Great report! You had quite the adventure. How long were the tusks on that bushpig?

The tusks were 5" long. A very nice addition that was necessarily expected, but when Andrew asked if I wanted to shoot one, it took all of about a half a second to answer, "Yes!"

Wow! When looking at a photo of a bushpig, I can never get a sense of tusk length. What are your taxidermy plans for that beast?

He will be half mounted to match a warthog that I half mounted. I'm not sure of the pose yet, I'll likely let my taxidermist use his artistic eye.
 
Another part of Africa I must visit. This is going to be hard work. Great story! Thanks for telling. (y)

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
