This was an absolute monster cat. Originally, a Caracal wasn't on our hunter's list but when the hounds started giving tongue and the call came through, things changed quickly. One has to wonder what had been caught by this extraordinary cat over its lifetime. The small game in the area can rest easy for a little while.

Striking Stallion for our hunter after a hard day of hunting. With so many Zebra in the area, never ever think that it will be an easy feat. Nature will always find a way to show you. The lay of the land had me up in a tree to get a better view. After confirmation of our target animal, we proceeded to crawl roughly 40 yards with absolutely no cover, simply using the little depressions to stay hidden. After setting up the sticks while still lying down, it was up onto the sticks for a simple 60 yards shot.

Toughest animal in Southern Africa. Hands down. This one did not give us too much trouble and went down within 20 yards, but every time we hunt one of these, I make a point of ensuring our hunters know about the Blue Wildebeest's reputation. Born sick and the more you shoot them, the healthier they get. Train hard, fight easy. Beautiful old bull, with teeth worn down flush with the gums.

On a morning that started off beautifully, but soon turned windy, we found this bull in a hidden valley that I had never been to before. We had a nice vantage point from a rocky outcrop above the bull. We found him lying down at roughly 09:15. We watched him as he got up several times to feed for 10 minutes, only to lie down again in a different area. We finally got a shot from our vantage point at 14:30. Shot distance was 220 yards. Patience.

I remember being so nervous when we were in position to shoot mine. I’d already read many stories about wounded wildebeest and I could feel the concern in your demeanour. I had to keep it in my head not to eff this shot up! Lol. Thank goodness it was my best shot of the hunt!

Ancient Buffalo cow for our hunter. Some crawling on hands and knees to get into position, then we just had to be patient, as we sat 40 yards away from the bedded herd. Eventually, they got up for their afternoon feed, and we picked out this cow who clearly showed signs of deterioration. One shot with one insurance shot is all that was needed.

Big bodied Bushbuck ram taken in injury time after the buzzer. We saw this ram from about 1000 yards moving along a steep ridge. We managed to make up some yards, and lost him for the next 30 minutes or so. After a while, we could barely make out his outline as he froze to stay hidden. A 170 yard shot found its mark in the centre of the shoulder.

Another great KMG bushbuck.

After locating this bull, we put a slow stalk on him from above as he was feeding. Once we got to roughly 200 yards, the bull looked up, seemingly at something creating some noise in front of him. This turned out to be Roan that we never noticed to our right. The bull bolted, with us trying to cut the angle along the road below us.
To our advantage, we left trackers on the hillside to keep an eye. They were able to direct us from above and got us to cut angles in order to close the distance in double time. We caught the bull crossing an open plain at 160 yards ahead of us.

Great time to take this Warthog. Skin and bone. Conservation at work.

This big, Black Wildebeest was taken after a roughly 1 hr stalk in some wide open country. We spotted this bull at roughly 1.5 miles at the foot of a mountain. We made a huge loop, using the contours of the terrain to stay out of sight and to close the distance to a mere 160 yards. Almost got busted by a crow, but he stood long enough.

We noticed this Nyala bull from around 500 yards out busy feeding down the valley. We circled around and got him at 140 yards. The Eastern Cape doesn't really have problems with swirling winds, but thermals play a big role once you among the hills. Through the Spotting Scope, I could clearly see something grabbing the bull's attention, with flaring nostrils. He turned and snuck away. We gained some height and picked him up around 250 yards further up the valley standing in some thick shrub. This time, we made it count.
