Thumper headed out of Africa,

[Thumper]

Hello all, hope everyones hunting season went well. I posted a note on the accidental saferi i will be taking this week. The post in the africa section gives the details, but who knows what i will leave with.
Glad to stop by and have the B'cat working with me here in luanda. Geting all of the apps for 2009 set up. looks like this will be a great year hunting in both Africa and the States.
I will have to tell you about my christmas present. Finally got the Christensen custom 7 ultra mag and it is a tack driver. headed out in the AM but will update the site when I get back.
Cheers....

Help

Have some pictures from Africa. A great Impala, Record Wildebeast and a 53 inch Kudu. Man it was HOT ... Burned some serious boot leather and had an interesting event with some young cape buffs.
Need help with the pictures.

Test on the Kudu

Test another critter

I love the green in the picture of the Kudu. When we were there in June the whole country was brown from Winter. The Green is a nice look that you don't often see in hunting pictures.

Congrats on a nice critter.

I will tell you it was HOT. Man we stalked some heavy thron brush in waste deep grass from 0600 to dark. Got the Impala first around 0900 the Wledebest at mid day and hunted all evening before connecting with the Kudu at dark. Was a blast...

 

[Thumper]

I uploaded some photos in the trophy room but here is my killer Kudu. Sorry folks will put more in the AFRICA files.



Hey, am I posting these right???

 

[Thumper]

This was a beast.... The critter not me..

 

[Thumper]

This sure is tempting... But don't want to one up the mooseman... Then again, the Buffalo's did not like us hanging around.

Thanks all, man it was HOT, and if you read the start out of turning it from a bad situation to a great hunt... well nuff said.
