I spent 10 days last October at Eleanor Lowe's ranch (wife of the late PH Allan Lowe)my PH was her grandson Ryan who is a top young PH that I really enjoyed hunting with and learning from he puts in 110 percent effort and is very passionate about ethical free range hunting and conservation. My main two animals I wanted to get were Eland and Kudu I managed to get my Eland on day 2 after a long track and stalk, after seeing 4 or 5 mature Kudu tracks we managed to catch up with a shooter on day 8. I also managed to get 2 bush pig both in the day which I have been told isn't that common as well as 2 Implala a Steinbuck,Duiker and Baboon. The Barnes TSX worked very well they opened up on everything I shot from close range out to 250 meters every animal was taken with one shot except the Baboon which required a finishing shot. We mostly ate what we shot as well as other game meat which was complemented with traditional side dishes all meals were very well prepared all in all I had a fantastic time with great hunting,food,accommodation and hosts which I now consider friends this was my first trip to Africa and I can say that I well and truly have the bug and will be back before long.
