Ok the start,
I've been wanting to get back to Africa. Been watching the deals section.
Talked to a few outfitters here, Game4Africa being one of them.
When Wik put up the free day fee deal, I jumped. Wanted to do the 2:1 hunt with my father. Well dad couldn't make it, personal reasons. Got ahold of my friend, fellow ah member Tim Novak, he was in!
Deposit down, airline tix bought, and then we were off!
The Coetzee family has a great operation, very friendly and very professional. Wikus is a great ph, very great at spotting animals and getting you in position for the shot, mainly all walk and stalk.
I told Wik earlier via email I had no set animals, take what Africa gives me!
Opportunity hunting! It worked out great!

My friend Tim will post his own report on his animals, I'll post mine.
Day 1: Wik picked us up in port Elizabeth, drove to kudu lodge, sighted our guns, Tim was right on, I had to adjust 3 clicks on my scope.
Had a couple castles, a delicious dinner, springbuck leg, chicken, potatoes veggies salad and a nice dessert. In bed by 9 pm

Day2:
Up at 5 am, light breakfast at 6 am. Hunting by 6:30, looking for kudu for Tim, seen a lot of game. One shooter bull kudu we put a stalk on, busted by baboons, sorry Tim!
Back to lodge for brunch at 10, very warm and windy today. Back after tims kudu in afternoon, seen 9 bulls together!
Ok hard for me to not talk about tims hunt, so I'll just say it was a great afternoon.
Had duiker tenderloin and kudu sausage for dinner. Delicious! All the food was great! Top notch!

Day 3: quick breakfast again, after a long walk Wik spotted 2 Nyala bulls, Wik said big. After thinking for a bit told Wik I'll go after one, Wik and I went after them, Wik said second one was big. Up on sticks 1st shot complete miss! Nyala fever I call that! 2nd shot I hit low in the shoulder.
Now I got to say very thick bush, and heading away from me quartered up hill. 200 yards. Anyway Wik sent tracker mike up the hill, mike found blood. Wik sent the dogs Rambo and diesel. Caught up with the Nyala after quite a ways. Finished him off. Thanks to the dogs, we didn't spend all day tracking him.
