Thanks, That warthog sow is quite cheeky for her size but she chased the kudu away... lol

THE IMPALA The Impala is probably the most wide spread antelope in Southern Africa and if we take in account that they occur in relative high numbers and are not as expensive to hunt like other game species such as the majestic Kudu. I like to get into my pit blind, elevated hide or tree stand before the sun comes up and I will in 95% of time not move from this blind until the sun goes down again unless I had a successful hunt. Its about 09:30 and I have the first visitors to the blind, Now is the time to be patient. Give them time to come in and relax. Impala is very jumpy when they come into the water and with a lot of animals there is a lot of eyes and ears that can pick up either movement or sound coming out of the hide. Look at this ewe Dont move untill she relax or she will spook all the animals... One of the frustrating things about impala is that they love to drink in a bunch and they will not give you a shot what so ever... Give them time to drink and you might get a clean shot as they start to move off.... If not wait and enjoy the experience of all the animals so close to you... Ahhh... Here is a better chance. That Impala Ram is standing perfectly broad side. Do not take the shot!!!!! Look carefully there is another Impala standing right behind him... Wait.... Here is another ram coming in.... Do you see how he looks like a 100 meter sprinter in the blocks ready for the starters gun to fire.... Forget about taking a shot. He is on high alert look at that tail, its pulled in between the legs... He is not relaxed at all and he will string jump you if you try the shot. He will either duck the arrow or you will hit him very badly and you will be spending a lot of valuable hunting time looking for a wounded animal... So lets see if he will relax and give us a shot or wait for the next Impala... Here is a couple of nice rams.... Will you take the shot at the ram at the left? He IS standing perfect..... Maybe wait a bit lets see what he is going to do. They are not stressed to much.. Okay there he goes he is walking around the other side of water... Draw.... He is 22 yards away.... Take your shot.... and remember to follow trough .... and enjoy the experience

I make use of game camera's to scout and get routine of animals... Here is a couple of photos. Hope you guys enjoy

thanks guys... keep a look out for posts in the bow hunting section. its summer time here in South Africa so not a lot of hunting happening.... :bang:

I have used the 100gr Razor Tricks this past hunting season. These broad heads are razor sharp out of the packet and it did not take long before I had a cut on on of my fingers while taking the broad head off after it was shot into a broad head butt. My arrow as Carbon Express Maxima hunter with total arrow weight 420gr. Bow used was a Bowtech Tribute set at 70# A nice Blue Wildebeest bull gave me a quartering away shot. He went 80 yards before he ran out of fuel.... He left a good blood trail... Entrance wound Again entrance wound Entrance wound into the chest cavity... As you can see these broad heads make a huge wound channel. I shot a double lung shot. Damage on the one lung... Exit wound in the chest cavity Unfortunately I hit the opposite shoulder joint and did not get a pass trough. The broad head destroyed the opposite shoulder. Unfortunately did not get a photo of the shoulder before the butcher got hold of it. :cry: :cry: I am really impressed with these cut on contact 4 blade broad heads and I can recommend them to hunters that need maximum penetration like female hunters or hunters with a short draw length or hunters that hunt with relatively light draw weights.

I am glad I found this forum. Hope to learn a lot.
