NAMIBIA: Namibia Hunt At Eintracht Jagd Safaris July/Aug 2024

We headed back to the main farm area after 5 days of great action and success. Also a lot of good food and laughs. On the day we were driving back Oscar and PH Danie were out tracking Eland near the family farm. They covered over 30,000 steps per a fitbit tracking 2 bulls and had a few chances spoiled by wind, other animals, and bad luck. Then just before shooting time ended, and when they were about to call it a day, a bull was seen moving across an opening and Oscar got his chance. He shot the bull at approx 250 yards checking another animal off his list.

Mathew’s Phase 4. 29” draw and 61 lbs. I shot Easton axis 5mm carbon arrows with 150 grain 3 blade VPA broadheads. Total weight was around 480 grains. No issues with penetration. Complete pass throughs on the kudu and waterbuck.

The other bows were:

- 2012 Hoyt carbon matrix, 27” draw, 65 lbs, Easton fmj 340 arrows with a 50 gr brass insert, slick trick 125 gr broadhead

- Mathews Z7 30” draw, 70 lbs, slick trick magnum 100 gr broadhead
 
Bill left our group and headed to Natal for some more hunting and I stayed one more day. I hunted with Justin on my last day looking for his kudu. We saw a few small ones and one that was close to being a shooter. Justin and Pieter stalked in for a shot but decided to pass. Justin and Oscar stayed 1-2 days longer and targeted the last two animals on their list. Justin almost got a shot on a kudu near sunset the next day but the bull managed to get away. Oscar took a nice warthog completing his list. And then on the last morning Justin got his kudu! He had to rush to get his stuff packed and to the airport as they spotted the bull heading back to camp and had to make a stalk. It was a great way to end the hunt for him, making up for a bow clean miss a few days earlier.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike
