Day one, first morning. Cut some tracks, trekked 1.6k. 200y stalk. 35y shot. Darton Prelude 75# Sirius Apollo 200, 200 gr half sleeve, 250 gr VPA 2 blade @ 830 gr.

Farted around today to get the lay of the land. Scoped out some spots for croc, waited out a couple-three hippo, none of which stood up. While driving along the Luangwe we stopped & stalked to within 40 of a puku but never was able to draw my bow- fkn wind.

Well done and congratulations.
It’s extra special with archery tackle.
 
Congrats! Heck of an accomplishment with the bow.
 
Nice job
 
Nice kill with archery equipment!
 
Congrats and thanks for sharing!
 
This is a reminder of what hunting should be about, stalking! Bravo!
 
No small feat killing a Hippo with a bow or with a rifle on land. I'd love to hear how you got set up for a bow shot, what arrow, what point of impact you selected, etc.

Well done!

Delicious steaks to boot!

What is the minimum you would take.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
