Post by: Rob on August 21, 2012, 09:49:38 PM: Great photos lhrbull!

The kudu is a monster. We tried reallyhard to get a Blue Wildebeest on my last trip but could not get close enough to them. I hear they can be tough to knock down.

We are really hoping to get my dad onto a Nyala in October in Zim. Hopefully that will work out for him. Very nice animals!

Post by: lhrbull on August 22, 2012, 05:37:09 AM: Thank you Rob very much for posting the pictures. I now know why they say if you go to Africa that you will go back because it was an incredible time. With all the different animals and looking for a trophy made it a very awesome experience. Some days to get two animals in one day was really different than hunting all season for one animal.

Post by: X-Force on September 18, 2012, 10:46:35 AM: :o Did you run out of ammo?
Great looking trophies. Any full body mounts?
Title: Re: Photos from lhrbull's trip to South Africa (zulu-natal)
Post by: lhrbull on September 18, 2012, 09:36:51 PM: no the kudu and wilderbeest will be pedistal wall mounts, nyala and bushbuck will be on a pedistal together, impala shoulder mount, zebra rug,and the warthog will just be a bleached skull. Wife not to impressed with shoulder warthog mounts. the gentlemen who asked about ammo didn't even get into my box of 50 the bullets were the new nosler e-tips in 180gr out of a 300 weatherby. one shot kills on everything but the kudu and impala second was needed on it so it did go into a deep canyon. the ph believed he would have died from the first lung shot but didn't want to take the chance and have to go into the canyon after it.

Post by: Iamyourhuckleberry on November 23, 2018, 03:49:52 PM: Nicely done 1hrbull! They're all super nice animals! How did your hunt in 2016 work out? Did you get your springbok slam? Can you share those photos? I would love to see them.

Can I ask, have you ever been to another place that had better sunsets?
