South Africa 2014 - once more a fantastic trip with PH Izak Vos and Vos Safaris

Just wanted to post shortly some impressions about my once more and again fantastic hunting trip to South Africa in August 2014 again with PH Izak Vos and Vos Safaris.
Once again, after our tremendous bowhunt last year on cape buffalo, waterbuck, bushbuck and wild boar, I was hunting 10 days with my friend and PH Izak Vos from Vos Safaris in South Africa and got magnificient impressions, useful experiences, hide sessions and great stalks.
Many thanks to the amazing experience of my professional hunter Izak I could harvest some outstanding animals and trophies.
A 15 year old giraffe bull of roughly 1.3 tons weight, that the landowner wanted to get hunted, due to the fact that he had killed another bull (seriously no joke) and got laid with his mother and begot two giraffes.
A phenomenal steenbuck, a roughly 12 year old kudu bull, the grandpa of all kudus there and there were many - during one session in the blind we counted 52 kudus at the water and several of them were 54+", a superb eland and an old warthog with some impressive tusks

If someone is interested to hunt with Izak Vos in South Africa he can whether contact me - I am not an agent it is just because Izak and me are friends - or contact Izak Vos directly by email under (izakvos@gmail.com) or on facebook.

Congratulations on your trophies! Great looking warthog, I had hoped to get a warthog on my first safari, oh well now I have more reason to get back soon. How well did the bow work on your giraffe? That's a big animal and thick-tough hide.
 
Great trophies Nimrod......I like all of them....!!!!

Congrats......!!!!
 
Nice animals....Did you have a minimum draw weight and KE to shoot the giraffe?
 
Awesome Trophies Nimrod Congrats on a great hunt.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

Rifle is a Pierce long action, 32" 1:8.5 twist Swan{Au} barrel
{You will want a 1:8.5 to run the heavies but can get away with a 1:9}
Peterson .280AI brass, CCI 200 primers, 56.5gr of 4831SC, 184gr Berger Hybrid.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
