Got back from Dries Visser's about a week and a half ago and I am finally getting around to posting some pictures.
This was my second safari, first in South Africa and I had an amazing time.

My Blesbuck, just over 16", I'm told that's a very good one with heavy bases.
Apparently I am not a good listener as my girl friend said to shoot a white one. I thought she said she didn't like them.
I guess that will be my excuse for a return trip.

Just a side note, I got my Zebra within two hours of the first morning. After that I did not have much luck until I put on my Dries Visser hat.
It is now my new lucky hat for chasing whitetails!

Who was your PH?

My PH was Geoff, He has hunted for Dries for a couple of years now. He was my age and did a great job. He went way above and beyond for me.

That is an outstanding impala! I had the chance to shoot at a pair of honey badgers this past August, but I wasn't sure if I was allowed to shoot them or not so I passed. Just before the pair of honey badgers came in, a brown hyena came to water, so I had a heck of an evening in any event.
Some great animals, congratulations!

Yep, you have to have a permit for the honey badger. It is now my favorite trophy from Africa.
I saw a hyena on the trail camera but never in person. That would have really been something to see!

Nice! Hope to haves chance at a Honey badger next year at Limcroma. I assume you were using a bait for him?

In my case, both the honey badgers and the (Brown) Hyena came to water, with a decent amount of light left (at least for the hyena).
I don't want to hijack the thread, but here's a link to a short video I shot of the hyena coming in. Use the password "hyena".

Yes we were using a gut pile as bait for the first two nights. On the third night we used the fresh bloody lungs and heart from my first impala and that worked like a charm.
