The fastest antelope in Africa is both unique and cool looking. Tsessebe love covering themselves in mud and are often seen standing on objects to make themselves look bigger.
Great bull with great mass! Top quality every time!

When you can’t close the distance on a heard of black wildebeest, it’s time to think outside the box!
The clown of the bush didn’t know what to make of the approaching figure and let us close the gap to 230m!
Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good!

The Viper-Flex shooting sticks aren’t just great to shoot off they also double as gemsbok horns!

Walk and stalk bow hunting is never easy but when you have a client that knows his equipment and how to use it the job is far easier!

There’s big hartebeest and then there’s monster hartebeest! At 25 1/2 inches…they don’t really get much bigger! We scanned a heard of 25 bulls and saw this chap had a badly injured leg and Ian made a fantastic shot at 200m off the shooting sticks! **er_official

These things are tough as nails! Anyone who has hunted Blue Wildebeest knows how long a day can be when the first shot isn’t on the money. This bull was no exception, some good tracking and perseverance ended in success! **errifles

09/11/2023

Striving for the best isn’t alway easy, we saw this monster springbuck late one evening and couldn’t get a shot. We spent the next two days in torrential rain in search of him, using a spotting scope to look over thousands of acres in the rain isn’t easy going but persistences paid off on the last morning of the hunt! **er **er_official

Another unique species from Namibia 🇳🇦 the Black Faced Impala. **errifles

26/10/2023
