Big Lion Down

Vanessa's dream on this trip was to take a female lion and that dream came true today. We found a fresh lion kill early this morning and then tracked the lion through some fairly open country. We first encountered her at about 60 yards but she never offered a shot before taking off. Our second encounter was at 40 yards and Vanessa placed a 375 bullet in the lion's shoulder. She ran a short distance to a patch of trees to wait for us. Luckily we saw the bushes move and Vanessa got another shot in her at just 8 yards. It was incredibly intense and will make an incredible episode of Outdoor Quest TV. This afternoon we saw many really nice gemsbok and impala but still not a big enough impala that our PH was happy with. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
