SOUTH AFRICA: BOWHUNT: My October 2016 South Africa Hunt

Excellent hunt and trophies! It would appear that you shot a lot of practice arrows in the weeks prior to departure. Paid off, too.
 
Ice Man, that warthog and 2nd Impala are gorgeous with really nice shapes! Good show.
 
Congrats on your first time in Africa. Great trophies for your first hunt. Really dig the Warthog. I went last year to Namibia (my first trip yo Africa) and took 7 animals myself. Already planning second trip. This time to South Africa in 2018.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.
