Just a little something to start my hunting season with
Good DayI recently started my hunting season with a bow hunt accompanied by some friends in Limpopo. (Not sure if I'm allowed to say were, I don't want to be accused of advertising or something like that) But I can say that the PH is an awesome guy who really goes the extra mile with a smile. Already booked my trip there for next year. Even though it had not frosted at that stage yet and the veld was still quite green we saw a lot of game and all had plenty of shooting opportunities through out the weekend. It all came down to preference and what we budgeted for. My plan was to shoot either a Kudu cow or a Blue Wildebeest cow or two Impala. Which ever I came across first was to be my quarry. I was fortunate enough to have a clear shot on a young Impala ram at 22 yards facing left standing slightly quartering away. I had a clean pass through with the Impala expiring after about twenty meters or so. When slaughtering it was discovered that I hit both lungs and nicked the heart as well.Equipment usedBow - Bear Anarchy set @ 70# Draw length 31'Arrow - Goldtip Kinetic Hunter with Rage Hypodermic 125Gr Mechanical broad head (Total Arrow Weight 465Gr)

Nice ram, Obelix - but it (the one in the pic) is not a young ram, that guy has already got a fair number of winters under the belt.

Re: Just a little something to start my hunting season with
Thanks gents.
What I meant when I said that it is a young ram, is that although it is a nice ram, it is not trophy size. I know that doesn't really explain it right, but in my twisted mind it made sense. The horns measured 19 3/4 " and the carcass weight was 32kg.Last edited by Obelix456; 12-07-2016 at 14:26. Reason: Spelling
