After a fantastic spot and stalk hunt on a huge place with Iliwa Safarias in SA I have been waiting for our animals to arrive home.
They got here and I had them officially measured. I was a bit surprised to find we took 6 book animals which were most of the animals we brought home.
Here is a run down of them:
Waterbuck scored 76 6/8"---book 70"
Impala scored 61 5/8" book 54"
Impala scoed 54 5/8" book 54"
Red Hartebeest scored 68 7/8" book 62"
Blue Wildebeest scored 78" book 70"
Blesbuck scored 44 3/8" book 39"

Gemsbuck missed by 3" and Springbuck missed by 2"
Not bad for a budget hunt for an old, fat, partly cripped guy and his daughter. All were one shot kills using a 257Roberts(my daughter) and 338win mag (me) at ranges from 135 yards to 480 yards. I am a happy hunter now waiting on the hides to get tanned then the mounts done.
 
Congrats! Nothing like a happy hunter! Sounds like Rooster Cogburn. "A one eyed fat man weighed down with whiskey and iron!"
 
Congratulations.
That is a great record.

Hello Doug,
I am Philippe from France and plan to go hunting Caprivi in 2026, Oct.
I have read on AH you had some time in Vic Falls after hunting. May I ask you with whom you have planned / organized the Chobe NP tour and the different visits. (with my GF we will have 4 days and 3 nights there)
Thank in advance, I will appreciate your response.
Merci
Philippe

Hi Walden. Good morning from England, Chris here (The Englishman!) from Croatia. Firstly it was a pleasure to meet you and Michelle - a fellow Sanderson! I have finally joined AH as I enjoy it very much. Glad you enjoyed the hunt and your write up which I read on AR was very good indeed. I am sending on WhatsApp pics from Bojan of some of the animals hunted recently. Take care and best regards. CS.
