Nice Klipspringer shot with Buks' .338 Win. Mag. and 250 grain solids to avoid damaging the cape. He'll be mounted life-size on a rocky perch.

Kudu coming into a waterhole. They really enjoyed the natural rock salt blocks that the rancher had put out for his cattle.
|

Holly and her 54 1/2" Kudu bull. This bull had a huge body; his neck was 44" around!

|
A really beautiful Impala ram with unusual flared horn tips. He's going to look great on the wall!
|

|
|
Holly with an ancient boar warthog. This old guy had really worn his tusks down. He should make an interesting skull mount.
|

|
|
A good Steenbok ram shot at 280 yards with Buks' .338 Win. Mag. This little guy is going to be mounted life-size.
|

Holly with a good Springbok ram. Notice the ruff that they raise over the hindquarters when they "pronk."

Bushpig sow taken on the last night of our hunt. These nocturnal wild hogs can be ferocious and a real challenge to hunt.

Holly with her Blue Wildebeest. She shot him from 300 yards offhand over shooting sticks using my .300 Jarrett.
|
|

Terrific 7 7/8" Mountain Reedbuck! This guy led us on an exhausting chase up and down a very treacherous canyon that I nicknamed "Death Valley."
