My October hunt in South Africa
#20042 - 26/10/04 11:50 PM

I hunted South Africa in Messina area together with Jasper Coetzee Safaris in the beginning of october. We had a great hunt and the weather was quite hot, between 32 and 42 Celsius.

Here are some photos, Stories will follow.

We walked along a wet area as we saw this Wartie standing right in the water, we moved closer and at about 50 meters I took the shot just as he started to move, he was down directly but was kicking. So I took out my knife and walked out in the water, put my left boot on one of the tusks and stabbed him from the front. The water was instantly red and the pig was dead. This was onme of eight warthogs I shot during this hunt.

That was a great Bushbock of 16 and a half inch. We wer looking for pigs with a spotlight when we saw him laying down under an orange tree, I walked towards him outside the light beam and as he got up and started walking I shot him at a distance of about 12 meters.

Welcome back. Looks like you had a great trip! Love that Bushbuck! I must say you've got a set of brass ones going in after the wounded Warthog with a knife.

Brass or not, Just walk up to him step on the tusks and stab him....

Yes John, that was bowhunted, walked a long bit but at least I got him. That was a great feeling.

CCH

That's a nice bunch of critters you've got there. You also have a serious knife, was it European made? Hope you ain't on that silly low carb diet.

Christer,

Remember that night of the Giraffe shot at 5 pm and we got home at 3:30 am after the unfotunate jackal ran into your bullet.

I really enjoyed sitting next to the fire after everyone was gone having beer and waiting for them to pick us up again. I must say we had some great experiences this time.

Frederik and Christer,
