My Wife & I bow hunted in RSA this June. I have hunted in Africa many times, but this was the first time we hunted with the PH staying with us for the day. I wasn't sure how I was going to like that, as I enjoy the time alone when bowhunting. Our PH Stian Von Wielligh certainly made the trip. He was a pleasure to spend time with and really worked hard for us.
We hunted multiple properties & stands for different species, fixed blinds & portable blinds set up just for this trip. This was my Wife's first trip to Africa and she enjoyed everything and started hunting herself. The staff was very polite and accommodating. The food was very good and the rooms and lodge were all top notch.
The amount of animals we saw everyday was great. We spent a lot of time hunting certain animals passing up many more which was enjoyable. One 60+" Kudu kept me busy a few days. We had him on the game cameras and finally I saw him half way through the trip but he was busy with the ladies and he never came close enough for a shot. What a monster and I am glad at least I got to see him. Kim's first animal was a big Black Impala which tend to be smaller than the regular impala and it was 25". We got a couple sable, one over 47" and one over 49". All the animals were great quality and I know its early in the year, but the Roan should be the new #1.
Such a great trip and we are looking forward to returning to South Africa soon.
