Borrowed camp phone so no pics til later but in a Krivoman on the ground. Have two axis bucks, on scimitar orynx and a group of wildebeest to entertain me so far this morning. A big boar came by but not into the feeder. He kinda messed things up feeding around for a while.
I don't know how many folks have been here but the facility is really nice and there are plenty of varied species.
When I shot the axis doe last night it didn't sound right and turns out I split the lower limb at the fade. Still, the arrow got through her and did the job but for now my TallTines recurve is toastLast edited by DRT; 09-19-2020, 06:51 AM.

So I will say this...this is the bowhunting paradise I've dreamed about. Tim and his son Jake are some incredible people. They run a very fine operation. I hope to be a regular customer there and am already planning my next few trips back...yes multiple. I'm going to find a weekend to take my whole family there and I'm also going to take my former boss there. This place cuts no corners. It is a little slice of heaven on this earth.
DRT (Gary) and Tradtiger (Ellis) are some great guys to hang out with. They have quite some experience and know how to fling arrows. Great companions and the type of guys you can immediately feel at home with.
Unfortunately, I cut the trip short and went home a day early. I've been away from my kiddos and wife more than I have been with them due to my career in medicine. I picked up an entire week of ER work out of town and have to be on the road Sunday afternoon, so I decided to go get some quality time with them for 24hrs before I once again leave.
As far as the hunting- this place is total 1200ac of high fence. It is NOT a gimme hunt. The game is plentiful but they are very wild and will not give you multiple chances to slip up.
The kills- I ended up killing a MAGNIFICENT Axis buck on my third sit...with my compound bow. Why the compound? I have not had any time to dedicate the proper practice with my recurve that is needed to ethically kill (confidently) game. That being said, I did spend some time shooting and performed very well...well enough that I will be shifting away from compound hunting. Thanks to Tim, Jake, Gary and Ellis I have a new found interest in dedicating my time to Trad hunting. With the practice at camp, I was shooting well enough to go after a ram, but we could not locate them. I'm hoping to go back within the next few weeks to get on this monster ram with my trad bow...the whole point of originally going on this hunt.
Food was great, game was plentiful and this was a weekend that turned out to be better than I had thought possible.
