Beautiful Mike!  Gald it was with a bow and not a muzzleloader.

Would be interested in knowing more details like shot distance, draw weight and arrow weight, etc.  Cant wait to hear more. :-D

Very nice!  Congratulations on the adventure and trophies! I hope to get there someday.  Any plans for the gemsbok horns? I've seen some cool bows made from them.

Awesome.  Africa looks like Southern Arizona.  Would love to hear about the African views on camouflage clothing for bow hunters.

Of all that I shot over there the Gemsbok was my favorite. They did it over coals and it was out of this world.
