And the long trek begins

Well his luck finally ran out. After scooting on our arises like a dog with worms and crawling we finally got the scarred old veteran. Too much hard hunting not much time to post. More later.

Take care

Well the hunt is over and I have a little time to rest in the lounge and post. What a ride. My PH was my sons age but boy did he work hard and put me on some quality trophies. The Blue and Impala will definitely qualify for RW and the bushbuck was a dandy. The pig was an ancient sow with no teeth left. Actually the zebra, BW and impala were old males pushed from the herd. I bought a gemsbok but pulled the shot. We never recovered it after a day and a half of searching. It stings but that is why it is called hunting and not killing. I'd like to thank you all again for all the sage advice and encouragement. Now the real job starts, finding a way to get my wife to come along so I can do it again next year. Scott at SS Pro runs a great shop and you feel like family not clients.

More after I get home and recover. Damn PH is young with long legs but I wouldn't trade him for the world.

Congrats on a great hunt.

Looking forward to reading some of the details. Sounds like the Black beest and Bushbuck both really gave you your money's worth!
