We had a group of 8 go down to hunt with John X Safaris in South Africa. The result was truly epic with 60 trophies in the salt. Below are the kudu from the hunt.

Excellent Kudu bulls. Where in South Africa does Safari X have a concession?

That's a very nice bushbuck and Nyala. They are on the top of my list for my trip to Africa next year. Congrats on a great hunt and some cool trophies.
