It’s day 3 of Kai and Barbara's hunting adventure at Fort Governor's Estate
in South Africa's beautiful Eastern Cape.
Early this morning Kai-Uwe Kuhl harvested a nice impala ram.
And made a great shot on an old kudu bull.
This trip has already seen Peter harvest a blessbuck.
And, Barbara take a zebra,
warthog,
blessbuck,
A beautiful old kudu
and a common reedbuck.
As well as Kai’s first impala ram.
One horned blue wildebeest.
And an impressive old blessbuck.
So far the trip has been a great success for all of the hunters.
Kai, Barbara and the rest of the hunting party enjoy lunch at the lodge house.
As it’s the middle of the South African winter the sky is a little grey,
but fresh coffee on the porch is still a delight.
The cook has prepared a table full of food for the hunting party
and theres some traditional German favourites, as well as local recipes.
Once fed and watered, the hunting party head out for the afternoon.
They’ve only just left the truck when they spot an eland amongst the bushveld.
Eland are the African's largest antelope .
and make for a fantastic trophy.
However,
this eland isn't what they're looking.
A little further into the bush
and there's a nice old bull feeding in the cover.
Kai gets on his sticks.
But the bull is half hidden by the bush.
Kai never shoots unless one hundred per cent
confident in making a good shot.
So he hangs fire.
The bull moves to stand front on
and theres still no shot available.
Watching and waiting,
is a nerve wracking experience for any hunter.
The longer you stand waiting,
the more you think things over.
The longer you wait, the faster your heart beats.
The higher the tension becomes.
The more the pressure builds.
It just needs to turn broadside and Kai can take his shot.
He waits.
The bull begins to turn
Before Kai has a shot the bull has turned into cover and is heading in the opposite direction.
So close, and yet so far.
The hunting party continues across the beautiful estate as the sun begins to fall in the sky.
The eland that they were previously so close to,
have moved very quickly across the valley. They certainly don’t hang around.
Johan and Nico take Kai and Barbara
to the highest ridge on the very edge of the estate.
From here you can see for miles in each direction.
and as the sun begins to set,
it offers a spectacular view.
as they head back towards the truck, content with the day's hunt
they spot something.
There’s a mountain reedbuck feeding in the fading light.
Kai sets up on the sticks
Takes his time
And picks his spot.
The reedbuck kicks up as the shot connects.
It comes full circle
and slows to a stop.
Then it drops.
A perfect shot from Kai and hes definitely felt the tension today
Just as the light begins to completely fade,
the party find their mountain reedbuck.
A beautiful old buck and the perfect animal to take.
Back at the lodge, the hunting party have gathered around the door fire.
They make good use of the drinks table and local delicacies provided.
As they recount the days action and add yards to each shot fired.
