Awesome to see someone hunting rhino this year. Good to know their care will continue on a little longer thanks to hunters.

They can't be all bad... they own a Springer.

My sentiments exactly.

hey rob

great report and well written
i enjoyed reading it even though i was with you on most of the hunt
made me remember all the little things that happened
btw i am sure the one evening we "forced" rob to watch a rugby match was somehow left out of the report, i thought it would surely have been a highlight of the trip

thx rob
hope to see u again sometime in near future

Hi Stuart. Would you believe I've watched Rugby on YouTube since I have been back? Well, okay, I watched about 5 minutes of one game but I plan on watching more when things have settled down here.

As for the Kudu horn lengths, Buck Wild nailed them. The first was 51 1/2" and the second was 49".

In for the WIN !! And as we discussed on PM, I actually had 49" for second bull but went back and edited response so not to insult you

Congrats for a great hunt !

That rhino is just magnificent.

That night we met Dave's next client. Again, I didn't catch a last name. He was just Dave to me and was from Athens, Georgia. He was also in for a rhino. He said he posted occasionally here so maybe he'll chime in.

Oops, sorry, this was DAN, not Dave.

Stuart emailed today to tell me that they had encountered my eland at a salt block and put it down. My shot had been deflected forward into the neck, but it didn't hit bone.
