This bull was sneaking through brush and surrounded by cows. My PH said, "you'll never see another bull like this. If he clears the cows before he's gone, take the shot." He cleared the last cow a moment before I would not see him and I hit him broadside with a 230gr .338 Win Mag. When the scope settled I managed to see the bull leap and kick. All of these antelope are remarkably tough. He ran at least a hundred yards like I'd missed.
The Wildebeest took three perfect shots to go down.

In my opinion, there is no place on the planet quite like Africa, if you're a hunter. The number of opportunities per safaris cannot be matched elsewhere. To see it, be there surrounded by it, and to experience all the sights and sounds associated with such an amazing place does nothing other than toss a person over the top! I have heard many times, "Once Africa gets into your blood, you'll be back.' I can attest, this statement is TRUE! I have been to the Dark Continent many times. I cannot wait to get back! Every trip (and every day) presents a new challenge and new opportunities.
Would love to hear more of your stories.

Besides the Kudu and Wildebeest we took an Impala, Zebra, and Red Hartebeest. We stalked several Hartebeest over a day and a half. My PH was at his wit's end and giving up on our latest long stalk when he looked up and saw a bull and two cows. Hartebeest bulls and cows look the same and you have to spot testicles to know the difference for sure. He wasted no time in putting me on the sticks. The shot was too far for my comfort. It's much harder to shoot standing than I would have thought- and I practiced for weeks before going.
The first shot was a miss. My PH said I hit some brush. He was being polite and generous. When the bull cleared some more brush and the cows he gave me the go-ahead. Perfect hit this time. 220yds. A chip shot for laying prone or sitting with low sticks, but I had a hard time with safari sticks.
