Chasing The Tiny 10 - The Journey Begins

I will post them separately to keep topics on track. I would like to keep the hunting report focused on that experience as the other 2 topics should also be focused.

We are dying to hear what happened in Polokwane!

Oh you will my friend...just want to set that up separately. It was a shocking experience and would be very distracting from this hunt report.

When I first saw the mountains I was going to be hunting klipspringer in I definitely thought I had bitten off a lot more than I could chew!! It took 2 1/2 days to get a pretty good ram. This was in Limpopo also near Thabazimbi..

That area is really something isn't it? Beautiful country but not easy to traverse! There were several times I had to stop while climbing to catch my breath and it was hot! Mountain climbing in the heat is not easy. I fell once in the loose rock and thankfully our tracker Vusi was right below me and I fell into him instead of hitting the rock and breaking bones or guns.

Hunting the tiny ten is very rewarding and you are very correct on the planning needed. Especially for the oribi and suni. All I need is the sharps grysbok. Tried hard in Mozambique but just couldn't get one to slow down below mach 5. Congratz on your success so far. Looking forward to the rest of your report.

Dave you bring up a good point. The speed of these little guys is amazing and they are super paranoid and on high alert a lot of time. It's like they have been drinking energy drinks and eating a lot of sugar and caffeine! Then for a moment they might stand still and they glow like a little jewel. Stunning creatures.
