What was your first African Game?

Landed in Windhoek, PH drove me to Eintracht farm, checked sight in of rifle after a few bottles of water. Then we went hunting.

Did a nine km or so long stalk through numerous oryx and red Hartebeest and took this bull at around 100 yards with my CZ 375 H&H.

Couldn't believe I had a beautiful African animal down just a few short hours after landing.

My PH Pieter Delport kept the rest of the hunt just as exciting. Just an awesome trip I couldn't have envisioned in my dreams.

Mine was also a Gemsbok. Taken in the Omaruru area of Namibia with Immenhoff Safaris. 2009 I believe.
 
Well it depends. What was my first African animal or what was my first animal in Africa? My first African animal was a gemsbok I took 20 years ago in East Texas. My first animal in Africa was a lion in the Kalahari.

I was waiting for this one. I shot a Steenbok and you shoot a Lion!!! Dang Texans!!! Ha ha!
 
Rock hyrax, meerkats, guinea fowl, pigeons and doves.....before 5 ... .
 
My first animal was a kudu in the Eastern Cape in 2012. An animal that I’d read a story about in Outdoor Life magazine when I was 12 or so. Made the whole trip worth it, even though I shot other animals as well.

The first afternoon on my first safari in the Eastern Cape a couple of hours after arriving at camp. My number one animal on my wish list was heading for the salt. Doesn't get much better than that.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
