Cool story on the Kudu.  I know I learned a lot about tracking and such on my hunt.  Shooting 6-9 animals on a safari is like packing 5 years of stateside hunting into a week.  It's like a post grad course in hunting.

I could tell that Impala was a real monster.  25.5 is huge, congrats!  Was the Gemsbok a bull or cow?  Nice long horns.

Are you doing taxidermy here, or there? 

[Rob]

Also, how big was the consession?

[Machias]

Dang dude you could have smiled a little.        Just kidding, AWESOME animals and thanks for sharing the photos and the story!  SOMEDAY!!!!!

Rob, my gemsbuck was a cow, I am having the taxidermy done over there and their base camp concession was 25,000 acres, with several smaller leased concessions throughout the area.

Jackmaster, it was low 70's during the day and low 30's at night it's their winter right now, very similar to fall in eastern Washington.  Very comfortable weather to hunt in.

Thats perfect weather!!

Great, I thought the gemsbok might be a cow, they have those really nice long horns.  I'm thinking should I ever get a chance at another Gemsbok, I'd look for a cow for that reason.
