Day Ten

15) Spotted a lot of Kudu over last 7 days, found this one with his girls doing sneak and peak's at the MT. High angle shot at 17?yds.

16) We first spotted this Red Hartebeest on day three, but he always gave us the slip. Found them bedded and rechewing breakfast. Took the shot as he lay back to back with another ram, 162yds. Never got up. Measured him next day, 72 inch's.

17) As we were wrapping the hunt up, saw a herd of Blue Wildebeest moving in a valley below us. Did a rock slide/butt crawl down, let them feed to us and finished the hunt with a 154yd shot that dropped him immediately.

Day Eleven

Extra day at Bushmans Lodge. Travel back to USA started the next day. We had a great hunt. Bennie Lategan, owner/PH of Lategan Safaris was an excellent host and guide, couldn't have asked for more. We used his 7x57 on everything, got better shooting it as the hunt went on, dropping dead most on first shot after day 5.

Hoping and planning on returning to RSA some time in the future.
