Here is a couple from the darker side of the world from a couple months ago.

Mountains around the Freestate

My son with a nice Rowland Ward Red Hartebeest.

Buddy with a very nice Freestate springbuck ram and another good friend with a nice Zebra stallion. We also took a number of blesbuck but we hunt them so often we forget to take pictures.

 

[hogpatrol]

That's a BIG set of horns on your springbok. The others are nice too. What was the closest town? I hunted around Van Der Kloof across the Orange River in the Free State.

 

[Capt. Oblivious]

This was in the other direction on the way to Natal, its very close to Harrismith

I took this guy with my bow at 103 yards on my first ever antelope hunt. Three friends and myself went to South Dakota and hunted public ground and we went 4 for 4 in a day and a half over Labor day weekend. We didn't have real high expectations beings that none of us knew what we were doing but we had a blast.

Can you tell us about the wind on that long shot, and what kind of hold off for it that worked. I’m trying to learn everything I can for a long shot like that. Thanks!

 

[STOMP442]

It was actually dead calm that morning, no wind to speak of at all. Conditions were perfect and the goat provided a perfect shot up on a small knob slightly turned away from us. Bullet entered just behind the shoulder and exited through the offside just in front of the shoulder joint. DRT.

 

[pirate ammo]

Out waiting for pigs last night, couple of the regulars showed up. Watched this one through the scope for about 5 minutes. Know I could of and I'm good with that.

 

[garandman]

One of the does from Wy trip in Sept.

All we had were doe tags for antelope and whitetail so did not take a lot of pictures.

She stopped at 96yds and looked right at the rifle. It was meant to be.
