While not getting the best of sleep, I did manage to sleep longer than any previous night since my trip began. Having the lion hunt completed and the stress of my first Africa animal jitters suppressed.....well slightly anyways, I was excited to begin the plains game hunting.
After eating breakfast and before heading out, I headed over to the range to do a little morning shooting. I had switched bows from my Monster to my Hyperlite because after the lion hunting, I believed the Monster was shooting a little low for whatever reason. To be honest, it may have been the bow or it may have been me and due to stress, anxiety, exhaustion, or whatever EXCUSE I could put here, not sure....as I have yet to shoot it since I've been back, I just know that everything seemed to be shooting lower than normal.
The Hyperlite was shooting fine and I was ready to be off. The nice thing about Africa is that generally speaking, you don't have to be on the travel routes, waterholes, pit blinds, spotting and stalking, or whatever method at the crack at dawn as things tend to move mid morning to early afternoon. We were pretty wide open this early in the game with what we were looking for, and since for the most part, a variety of animals will be at any given location, I was excited to begin.
Just about every morning I kept finding myself going to the wrong side of the truck to get in......the steering wheel on the wrong side as well as the fact they drive on the opposite side really had me messed up all week.
