Bowhunt turns into cull

Post by Geno »

Hey Guys,

So this past saturday, we went to a friend's property to look for a springbuck to shoot for my girlfriend.
She was very keen, as this would be her first kill with the bow.
She got a shot at one, but she was string jumped.

Earlier the day, the property owner asked if we could also cull all the males, because he plans on getting new blood lines.
Luckily, I had the .204Ruger behind the seat, so it was on!

Here I am using an "Improvised rest" to shoot an impala.
Distance was 40-50m.

Lila's one springbuck. We'll get her bow kill soon.
Great shot, right behind the ear at around 150y

One of G-Force's impala:

Couple of the animals. The 32gr V-Max really makes their eyes pop out when hit in the brain!

Total tally for saturday:
4 Springbuck
3 Blesbuck
5 Impala
5 Porcupine
7 Jackal.
Saving sheep one bullet at a time!
