    Here are a couple of animals taken with the bow W&S as well as rifle (don't know if that is allowed on a Bow hunting forum - If not I'll remove them).

    Warthog hunting is just the best ever. They are extremely tough. To W&S them is unbelievable. Wonder how they compare to your pigs over there.

    doesn't look like you have to do much tracking with all those head shots! Are you mounting any of these?

    you've got some nice animals down and trust me I am not discounting any of your kills but how do you hunt a zebra? Seems to me it would be like hunting a horse.

    Thanks, was driven into me from young age that when you shoot with rifle, you go for the head, aim small, miss small and living on the farm you have to do everything yourself so skinning and working with an animal that were shot in the head is much easier.

    We've mounted to many animals so I only do scull mounts now. Mounted the spring buck.

    Zebra hunting is not that easy, they can hear and smell you a mile away, and if they are living on a hunting farm then they quickly learn how to evade hunters. We had to cull a few because they are getting too much. Problem is hunters don't want to hunt them that often, they only use the skin so it is not your best animal to hunt when you are hunting with your wallet.

    We hunted that one Kudu way up the mountains, only way getting him down was to carry him down. Weren't planning on shooting a kudu, plan was to have a BBQ on the mountain, SAKO 222 always goes with me and we spotted the bull feeding on the next mountain. Couldn't resits...

    That is just epic.
    Such a cool experience. We (maybe just me) look at those animals with amazement. Is that how you look at ours?

    As I said earlier, feel free to post more pics, or a plane ticket ;)

    The grass is always greener on the other side...:)

    We are very fortunate to have access to a large number of different species. But we (I) do also look at your animals with much amazement. Especially your Moose and Elk. personally don't have the urge to shoot a bear but to Walk and Stalk a Moose or Elk I think must be like shooting a Buffalo over here.

    Bison, are they still available?
