I love Mondays... in South Africa!

Life has been at a whirlwind pace here on the Eastern Cape in South Africa. Guy and Clint have been the best hosts and PHs. We have hunted impala, warthog and Mountain reed buck in the last couple of days. Monday morning we started after Sandi's Burchell's Zebra. Zebra are one of Clint's favorites to hunt as there is no reason to rush out the door bright and early! Our trackers Twoboy and Sipiwe and Anton found us two old stallions on top of on of the ranch's mountains. It took us two hours to stalk in close and when we broke cover of the Acacia trees we were within 90 yards of the first. He never saw us but two warthogs in the tall grass bolted scarring a flock of birds into his partner and stampeding him, taking along the first, saving his bacon. We got several minutes of awesome footage while waiting for him to step forward and expose his chest.
Borne up by mixed feelings of a blown stalk yet high on the close encounter we returned to the truck where Anton had spotted another herd miles away in the valley bush veld. We made the trip over and nearly blew it when we popped up out of the valley to find the herd had moved while we traveled. A careful stalk got us into 184 yards of the old stud and Sandi made sure of her trophy with the RMR .338WM  putting a 185 grain Hornady GMX into the chevrons on his shoulder.
This was the trophy Sandi traveled so far for and her definitive African trophy.
We have now moved to another concession where we are chasing bush buck and gemsbok. The weather has taken a turn for the worse with rain predicted for the next couple of days. Bad news for hunting in Africa. I'll keep you updated.
PS. We took the trophies into the taxidermist's and he scored my kudu bull. He will shrink some but right now he has monstrous 11" bases and 55 1/2" x 55 1/8" long deep curled horns. Wild Horizon is the place for top quality trophies and personal professional one on one hunting where you deal with the owners and aren't just a number in a high volume setup.
