HUNTING 2008
THINGS ARE GOING WEL IN SOUTH AND WE JUST ENDED OUR FIRST HUNT, MARCH 9-20. HAVING SOME TIME ON HAND I AM SENDING A QUICK NOTE. - OUR FIRST SAFARI STARTED WITH A GROUP FROM INDIANA ?????? THE 3 LINKEL BROTHERS AND THEIR WIFES +THE KINKERS + THE DUDLEYS AND THE LYKENS AND THE KRAMERS. WHAT A HUNT. WE ALL HAD A GREAT TIME, MET NEW FRIENDS AND HAD A LOT OF FUN. + KILLED SOME VERY GOOD STUFF.
EVERY YEAR WE GET SOMEBODY THAT GETS UNLUCKY WITH TRAVELING,. THIS GROUP WAS SELECTED FOR THE YEAR. WITH THE BAD WEATHER IN OHIO THEY SNOWED IN AND MISSED THEIR FLIGHT OUT OF DC TO SA. AFTER A CALL FROM THEM EXPLAINING THE DELAY THEY ENDED UP GOING TO THROUGH ENGLAND AND SHOWED UP 3 DAYS LATE.
HAVING A GROUP OF 14 IS ALWAYS A CHALENGE, AND I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT MAKING SURE THE WOMAN ENJOY IT, BUT ANYWAY LETS GET TO THE HUNT.
I AM NOT SURE IF US THE PH'S OR OUR CLIENTS WERE MORE EAGER TO START HUNTING BUT AFTER EVERYBODY WAS SHOWN THEIR ROOMS, WE GRABBED GUNS WENT TO THE SHOOTING RANGE AND MADE SURE NO BRITISH ASSHOLE MESSED WITH THE GUNS WHILE HAVING THE DELAY IN BRITAIN, ALL THE GUNS WAS FINE AND WE WERE ALL READY TO GO KICK ASS.
THE FIRST AFTERNOON WENT REAL WELL AS WE ONLY HAD 2 HOURS.
WE SHOT 3 GEMSBOK, 3 SPRINGBOK, 1 BLESBOK AND 1 ZEBRA.
THAT NIGHT EVERYBODY WAS VERY TIRED AND AFTER DINNER IT WAS OF TO BED,
1 GOOD THING CAME OUT OF DAY ONE-????? THE WOMAN WANTED TO SHOOT ALSO- THEN I KNEW THESE WOMAN ARE GOING TO LIKE THIS AND SMOKE SOME CRITTERS.
THE NEXT DAY WE HUNTED HARD AND DEE SHOT A ZEBRA, JEAN SHOT A BIG ASS RED-HARTEBEEST AND THE MEN SHOT A LOT OF THINGS JUST BEING MEN - DOING WHAT A MAN DO BEST - SPENDING MONEY ON HUNTING STUFF. THE WOMAN WAS HAVING FUN AND THAT WAS INPORTANT, ON DAY 2 WE MOVED TO MY CAMP IN LIMPOPO AND WE ALL STARTED WITH THE KUDU. EVERYBODY GOT BIG KUDU ON THEN TRIP, AND BETWEEN THE MEN WE HAD A 50. 51, 52 ,55. 56. AND 58' KUDU, WHAT A START. , THINGS REALLY WENT WELL AND AFTER 7 DAYS WE HAD 60 ANIMALS DOWN.
INCLUDING A LION THAT DAVE HUNTED, A GIRAFFE THAT JUANITA SHOT AND A TSETSEBE THAT VICKY SHOT. THESE WOMAN WERE GOOD. I HAVE TO MENTION THAT THE LAST 2 DAYS THE MEN HUNTED FOR BABOONS ONLY AND SAID THEY WOULD RATHER SHOOT BABOONS THAN ANYTHING ELSE, THEY SAID IT WAS LIKE HUNTING CHARLIE. I AM PLASING A FEW PHOTOS OF THE HUNT + ADDING THE TEL NUMBERS OF THE GROUP IF ANYBODY WANT TO HEAR THEIR STORIES, THEY HAVE A FEW GOOD STORIES THAT I CANT PUT ON HERE IN CASE OF ARREST OR ANTI HUNTING PRESURE. BUT THESE GUYS WERE REALLY GOOD WITH SLINGSHOTS ALSO.
