African Bound!

Gem's Buck. This was my favorite animal by far that I harvested while I was over there! He was so beautiful!
Kudu! This was probably my favorite day hunting out of the blind because we saw giraffes, rhinos, monkeys and a bunch of other critters before I finally got my shot on this beautiful animal.
He's so ugly...He's cute :) Warthog! OK so this was my buddy for the trip! How awesome looking are they?! He was to cool and their warts were of course my fav!
Pat's Blue Wildebeest-What a massive animal! These animals are so tough and Pat put a great shot on him and he only ran 70 yards before going down! Now that's african hunting at it's finest!

Hey Everyone! Can you believe it, our first trip to Africa and we had a blast! What a trip of a lifetime! Where else can you go and harvest so many animals in one trip?!! We packed our bags and made the 21 hour flight over to Johannesburg, South Africa where Erik Terblanche from Amanita Safaris was there to pick us up! We couldn't wait to meet up with our good buddy George Winslow of Bullseye Outfitters and get out there and go HUNTING! The first day out I shot a beautiful Impala and then Pat shot his both with our Mathew's. The day after Pat and I doubled on huge Gems Bucks...and that's not all, we are just getting started! Day 5 we both harvested monster Kudu with our bows! How awesome of a trip is this I kept thinking, how lucky can we really be?!! But the trip wasn't over yet, because the next day I harvested a warthog with my Knight KP1 and then Pat shot a huge Blue Wildebeest! What a trip is all I can say, everyone should travel and hunt in Africa before they die, because it was definitely an experience of a lifetime!
