A typical impala ram from the main consession we hunt.
Another, from one of my favorite hunters of the season. This ram ran at full speed for 60-80 yards at the shot and then tried to leap a high section of bush. He died in mid leap and tumbled end over end three times or so. The cloud of dust and flying body was one of the more impressive sights of the year and certainly one of the most impressive of my entire hunting career. I was so pleased that the horns were not broken off this impala after that end over end tumble! I suppose what made it most impressive was that he actually ran closer to us after the shot.
Another nice Blue wildebeast taken after an especially long stalk which was executed perfectly and finished with a longish shot. it was taken while using my hunched over back as a shooting rest.
This bull also ran at the shot but could be heard crashing through the brush when he went down. Jan used a .308 proving that even the "bullet proof" Blue wildebeast can be taken with a smaller cartridge when the shot is placed properly.
Another Blue wildebeast taken during the trip. This one shot with a 8mm rem mag required three shots to finally bring to a stop!
Another Blue Wildebeast shot with a 35 whelen also required three shots to fold up. My finisher with the 458 Lott was taken when the bull was about to crush our little fox terrier that is trained for blood tracking. Our little dog has saved so many trophy fees for hunters now, his worth must be in the many thousands of dollars.
