Here are some of the pictures that make the the hunting so much more fun.This trip started out rough.My son missed a kudu that was around 58" the first morning.I think me wanting him to shoot first and then that the kudu was so big mayhave been to much pressure.But thanks to jacque our great PH that was put behind us real fast.We stalked and tracked my son zebra for about a 1/4 mile.Then had an 1/2 mile stalk on my waterbuck with my son and tracker being are spotters as we climbed a mountain to get within 250 yards.With great team work i took that waterbuck that was 31".My son blesbuck and springbuck were just waiting for the shot on the opened plains.hardest part is just not getting walked on by all the animals as youwait for the shot on the one you want.My kudu was taken as we watched a valley.Some zebras scared everything out but the kudu tried to sneek out the back and i took him at 300yds walking up the side of the mountain.My sons kudu was a sneek on hands and knees for about 4ooyds to about 180yds were he made the shot as the kudu was sleeping standing up.Then as all can see there is the best hunting dog I have ever seen.Bullet was amazing.He tracks by the scent of the animal being hit/No blood needed and found ever animal that did not drop with in a minute.If another shot was needed he would hold the animal there to the fallow up shoot.plus bullet and my son had a blast playing when not hunting.Even watched bullet get my son when he fell behind as we walked.Just amazing to watch.Anyone want more info on a great place to hunt with a great outfit just send me a email here be glad to help.

Thanks for sharing. I love that place. At Blaauwkrantz they have a couple of dogs they use when an animal is wounded. My partner had to have a couple recovered and without the dogs it would not have happened. We were very thankful they had them around. It was so thick there would be no way to find anything.
