During my impala hunt I was hunting out of a large pit blind at a small water hole. The impala came into the water hole from left side of the blind from 300 yards. Instead of approaching from the left, he skirts the water hole and comes in on the right side of the water hole. I miss judge the distance and hit him low but the impala is hit well enough that he only goes 15 yards and dies in less than 10 minutes. I was very fortunate that the impala did not go anywhere since I did not have a good follow up shot from my shooting window. The reeds on the video were pretty thick from my shooting lane. It wasn't until I reviewed the video that I realized I should have been ready for a follow up shot on the window that my PH "Otto" was filming from....lady luck was on my side on this one.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
