A cracking common springbuck for Tom Darrington taken at 500 odd yards. Well done Tom!

What a boss of a buffalo for corky! This is the second buff corky has done with us, let’s just say once the bug bites it bites pretty good! I’m sure you’ve seen the video shared a couple weeks ago of the shot corky put on this buff, he absolutely hammered him!

After a really tough weeks hunting Mr Ron Wold alongside Benj managed to get a proper kudu bull, slightly asymmetric but he was an absolute dandy. The two of them had tough luck all week with kudu just feeding away from them and just not being able to convert, but the last morning they pulled it out the bag and got this beaut!

What an absolutely incredible nyala for Eric, Ryan and Eric had seen this bull the previous day and it had been hurt we assume from fighting another bull. It obviously wasn’t hard to make up their minds as to whether or not this was an old bull, and the fact that he had been previously hurt was a fantastic contributing factor in putting him down, stopping the animals suffering.

What a fantastic springbuck slam for Chris!

Every now and then you get a situation that truly is impressive, and this was one of those occasions. Mr Jeff Swinford has been a loyal client for a number of years now and each time bringing his long range hunting equipment, while in the past Jeff has made some amazing shots, I do believe that this one takes the cake. Jeff and Ryan have been trying to stretch the legs on his 300 Rum all week, and managed to find themselves in a situation that called for 42.74 MOA of elevation, and a 2.18 MOA wind call from the left. That dial amounted to a staggering 1524y shot on this cull kudu bull, and Jeff absolutely nailed him, missing the heart by an inch or two leaving the bull going around 100y and falling over. Truly a spectacular shot Jeff.

What a stunning bushbuck ram shot on the banks of the fish river! The bushbuck makes up a crucial part of the spiral slam and quite possibly one of my favourites. It’s never easy finding them, but when you do find a proper ram you tend to know it straight away! #

What a blue wilderbeest for Jason! Jason went up into the mountains for this blue and from what Dylan had told us he shot like an absolute champion! Well done Jason!
