A Double Header Today

Our morning started off really fast today. After spotting some impala, waterbuck and a great looking sable, we spotted a large herd of red lechwe with two exceptional bucks in it. After a long stalk, Vanessa was in position for a shot and despite hitting the biggest buck really hard, he still managed to go a long ways, really testing the skills of our PH, Pule and our tracker but after about an hour, they got Vanessa in position for a follow up shot which she made perfectly.

In the afternoon, we located a big sable bull and after a tough stalk with lots of crawling on hands and knees, we got in postion for a shot. I hit him perfectly with the 250 grain GMX, putting him down on the spot. He is an incredible bull stretching the tape to over 40 inches. He was everything I dreamed of in a sable.

With a few hours remaining we went for a drive and found a big herd of eland but darkness conspired against us before we could find a shooter bull. This trip has been incredible so far and we've only been in camp for three days!
