Day one, first morning. Cut some tracks, trekked 1.6k. 200y stalk. 35y shot. Darton Prelude 75# Sirius Apollo 200, 200 gr half sleeve, 250 gr VPA 2 blade @ 830 gr.

Farted around today to get the lay of the land. Scoped out some spots for croc, waited out a couple-three hippo, none of which stood up. While driving along the Luangwe we stopped & stalked to within 40 of a puku but never was able to draw my bow- fkn wind.

Well done, congrats !
 
Congrats! Heck of an accomplishment with the bow.
 
Nice job
 
Nice kill with archery equipment!
 
Congrats and thanks for sharing!
 
No small feat killing a Hippo with a bow or with a rifle on land. I'd love to hear how you got set up for a bow shot, what arrow, what point of impact you selected, etc.

Well done!

Delicious steaks to boot!

Thank for the laughing post! You have a keen sense of humour. I am usually able to just ignore those geniuses but this time I could not get past it. chuckle, Brian

Hello, My wife and I hunted with Marius 2 years ago. He fit us into his schedule after a different outfitter "bailed" on us. He was always very good with communications and although we didn't end up meeting him personally, he called us multiple times during our hunt to make sure things were going well. We were very happy with him.
