Predator calls?

The guy in the pics is not me, he is a friend who went with me and it was his first trip! He had no idea what he shot. All I could say every time I looked at that kudu was "Holy Sh!t that's a big kudu!!" He shot that kudu on day 2. Toward the end of the trip he started to "get it." I told him he should go buy some lottery tickets when we got back to the states. The PH told everyone about the water buck and almost everyone would say "does that guy realize what kind of trophy he has?" believe me, I have plenty of pics where you can't see the animal for the smile on his face!

We hunted with Mof Venter of Adansonia Safaris. Here is his website: Welcome

Reminds me of a vidoe I saw years ago. The guy on the video was dedicated to hunting a particular monster Whitetail and no other. He heard gunshots nearby and sent his cameraman to investigate and found a newbie had just shot his first deer, a 250" class non-typical! He interviewed the guy who was not particularly excited or impressed with the animal, he was more concerned with filling his doe tag!!! I'm sure eventually it sank in for him too.
 
Beautiful animals. Love the Kudu. Makes me want to head back for Africa right away. Bruce
 
Congrats on some truly great trophies! Does not get much better than that! Well an 85 inch Kudu would be! :D Congrats to you and your friend!
 
Certainly a excellent safari!!!! Can't wait to hear more stories and see more pictures!
 
Really nice trophies there congrats to you and your hunting buddy.

I am glad you have some different pictures. He almost looks Morose.

I Agree HOLY SH*T.

That's a wrap, on our first hunt of this years season.

Hunting conditions are a bit tougher in South Africa during the month of February, but can be just as rewarding if done right.
