Moonrising up over the mountains as we are kicked back after a successful days hunt.

From about 2012 in Swakopmund, Namibia. Two Ovahimba children who found an almost empty cement bag irresistible.

Two lions my PH and now old friend Boet encountered in 2014 or 16 rounding a curve on a track in the forests of Mozambique. I concluded they looked especially large when seen at ground level. We backed away step by step very carefully.

There's just nothing like an African sunset. Nothing at all. I consider it proof of The All Mighty's existence.

I think about this every day. Not just the day I killed. But the whole experience of elephant hunting. This was day 15 of two separate hunts before I got my bull.

Then this was my first spiral horn on my first safari. A beautifully caped bull from the Eastern Cape. And I believe the first animal my wife ever watched me kill with a bow.

A old, scared up dugga boy from Zimbabwe, 2024 with a new to me 458 Win Mag that had an awesome back story and from the Caprivi in 2022. Sunset on the Kwando river, with a large visitor to share the sunset with. Hard to narrow it down to just 2.

Post your two favorite pictures from an African hunt with a short description of what happened.
Mine is on my first South African Safari at Frontier Safaris in the Eastern Cape. I wanted a Gemsbok the most in this hunt and due to high winds they all were hiding. On day 3 my PH Kian Burchell spotted horns sticking up from a patch of brush in on top of a flat mountain top. How he spotted these in the moving grass I will never know. We stalk within 80 yards and the Gemsbok is napping with his butt facing the edge of the mountain. We get set up on the sticks and nothing happens for 90 minutes. We make animal sounds, whistle and even yell but the wind blowing in our face is so strong he can’t hear us. I watch through my Leupold VX-5 3x-15x scope as the Gemsbok nods off like a grandfather talking a nap on a couch after eating Thanksgiving dinner.
Finally after a hour and a half he stood to stretch and I nail him. The funny thing is I was worried he would spot us and bound of the back off the backside of the mountain I was completely calm. It didn’t matter how long it took I was happy to be on that mountain waiting.
Two pictures are of a screenshot of a video my PH made of me on the sticks with the horns barely visible in the grass. Second one is the after kill shot.View attachment 636813View attachment 636814

My dart rhino hunt was challenging and outstanding in every way becoming one of my favorites. My elephant hunt was my hardest earned animals given I took him in my last day last hour

Are you a lefty, or is that just a mirror image picture with the 458?

 

[Fatback]

@sgt_zim, I am a lefty. That is a 458 Win Mag out of the Winchester custom shop. I was able to get it earlier this year. I’m very pleased with how it preformed on my buffalo.

 

[ArmyAV8tor]

Ditto with Tanks. I am blessed with a spouse who loves to travel and loves to enjoy my successes in hunting. Swakopmund and a sunset in the Erongo region of Namibia.

I got a lefty 404J a couple years ago - Montana Rifle Company.
