Got a couple pics from a scouting trip/blind build a couple days ago. Every picture I’ve looked at of these animals makes my heart start to race and makes me even more ready to get there. I’ve told him from the beginning, I don’t have to have a 40”+ bull or whatever most would consider a trophy caliber animal. If that happens, so be it, but really want an old, solid, hard bossed bull really regardless of width. Irregardless of size, I’ve yet to see see a pic of one that looks like its happy it’s picture just got taken!
They built a new blind with the base 6ft off the ground so a little bit of comfort level can be added in case they come our way! [emoji16]

I read all of Capstick's books growing up, and buff is number one on my list over there. Can't wait to see more of this adventure. Wish you all the luck, a perfect arrow, and a short blood trail!
That is where my obsession with Africa stems from (along with seeing the place for the first time in person and being consumed by it ever since). First book I ever read from cover to cover was "Death in the Long Grass" and have always dreamed about chasing buffalo because of it.

Sitting here, I pulled up my flights to look over seat assignments and a few other details, and happened to see this. EXACTLY two weeks from now I will be lifting off on the first leg of this journey. This whole thing has literally been a dream in the making the last two years and here I sit on the fast downhill slide of things.
It’s honestly hard to wrap my mind around what all has went into this one hunt. I’ve prepared for hunts before and read about and talked to many folks who’ve prepped for a big hunt, but going through it all myself has been an experience in itself and I’ve learned a lot along the way with the help of more folks than I could count on all my fingers and toes! In the last 7 months, I’ve went from shooting 47lbs to 76+ lbs comfortably on a daily basis, changed from split finger to 3 under, swapped from instinctive to gap shooting, and went from looking at the gym across the parking lot to being in the gym 4+ days a week. I’ve taken notes along the way on most all of it and flip through them to check back on things that has/hasn’t worked. I was looking at my workout notes today after I finished up and was shocked how far I’ve come in that alone, and have no doubt that it has been one of the most beneficial things I’ve done in this journey. It’s crazy how much a fella will put his body through in order to make it grow and do things it normally shouldn’t do (like shooting a dang 76lb longbow!). [emoji16]
These last two weeks are fly by, or they are going to be slower than molasses dripping out of a bottle up at the North Pole outside in the middle of winter!
