Eland day........Almost

We found a great old bull eland today and spent the better part of the day tracking him and a group of younger bulls. We got within range several times but he would just never present a shot so we finally gave up on them around 4:00pm and switched our attention to impala. We finally ended up finding a heavy, wide ram just before dark and put a quick stalk on him. The only shot he offered was facing us but I managed to put the 165 grain GMX right in the middle of his chest and he ran about 30 yards before expiring.

It's hard to believe we have been here a week already. AAA Serapa Safaris is everything it promises and more. I could not imagine a more luxurious camp in the wilds of Africa and the food and hospitality have been incredible. The amount and variety of game in stunning as well. Still springbok, eland, nyala and waterbuck on our wish list. Who knows what adventure tomorrow will bring.
