This thread is great.  Do you need special permits to be camping out and killing small game like that?

The Hunt of a Lifetime!!!!!  Congratulations to you guys for that experience!!!

If you are going to take the time to line up your hunting buddies in a shot that allows you to get a wild woman in pink hair in the frame then you should zoom in a little more.  Great hunt.  Great pics.

wild woman with pink hair is my sister, we are a wild bunch    :D

Thanks guys. I too just found this thread and read every word and the photography is outstanding. You have rekindled my desire for another African hunt. I made my 5th trad bowhunting trip to South Africa since 2003 last July and thought it would probably be my last as I am now 70 going on 18. It certainly is addictive. Live while you are alive.

Thanks for the comment Ned!     It was a trip I will never forget! We had such a blast!   :D  
Thanks for the email too!     I'll send you an email this week!

LOL, Andy!      

I hope she will get a kick out of the comment.  Anyone with pink hair has got to have a great sense of humor!    

she'l be chuffed you noticed Gregg    :cool:



she's not a bowhunter but she's killed a heap of game with the rifle

Dang i'm soo skinny, is that a sign of a bad hunter.

I blame the bow, i don't now many guys shooting Hills and not going hungry      

not many guys that can hit a Hare between the ear's either mate       top shooting

I don't know many guys that have determination like u did with that Hill, James! Hell, I'd have given up and picked my Silvertip up LONG ago! haha!    

There's something magic about those Hills, at least to me.

That's a wonderful shot, James.

What are the specs on your Hill?

Cheers!

   I got a few Heroic pictures of me and the bow from the Africa Trip, i guess i can post one or two of them.
I did my time in those hides with that hill and only thing i could have shot was a Eland,
(passed up the shot)  last thing i wanted was to put an arrow 2" deep in the side of an Eland.

Out of my million shots i bagged 2 rabbits  

Ben, its a Take Down Cheeta, 70" 65lds at 28" im to 29draw and with some respectible scratches, dings and holes, this bows seen some action.

I think Hills are tanks as the best of times, and at 65+lds its to much, thus short draw ect makes for poor shooting.
Am wanting to buy a take down Hill Blank, + - 50lbs, I think that will help alot.  
But on the current exchange rates,its no good. I have to wait for my money to be good agains the US$.
:(   :(  


James

As for the magic, there is some thing nice about how its just a stick and string,
And if you run out of arrows, these take downs make really good bashing sticks.      

This Rabbit took one to the neck,  got to save the meat right,        
 

 

I think its been a while since a Hill as seen once of these, it was just a little out of my price range, next time    

 

you got that pic of the hill on the Elephant tracks?

here's the one  

I was going to post another one of but my computer keeps  crashing when i resize pic, ill do the past again when i get home

Hi James    I've been dying to see your pics on this thread mate! Awesome so far, keep 'em coming  :D

Yeah, good to see some pics bud!    I'm having drawl symptoms, I need to go back to my home land!  :D
