We got to Port Elizabeth a few days ago where we were met by Russ Lovemore, who took us about an hour out to his place in the evening. We we went out hunting that night. He had permits for me for aardvark and aardwolf and bat-eared fox, so we went out that night and just had an absolutely way cool evening. I actually got an aardvark. Coolest animal you've ever seen; huge big fat tail probably 100 or 120 pounds. Neatest thing, totally a nocturnal animal and lives in big holes in the ground. I also got an aardwolf which is the smallest of the hyena species and also got a genet cat that night!
The next morning we went out hunting for kudu and bushbuck, but no luck. And Eva was hunting too this time, all free range and no high fences. Went out that evening again. Eva came with and this time we called in a bat-eared fox. So I got a bat-eared fox. So the animal we didn't get was a black-backed jackal.
The next morning we were there we went out and Eva was looking for a warthog, and we saw a bushbuck running by being chased by a black-backed jackal, so Eva gave me the muzzleloader, and I shot it on the run at about 85 yards, so it was a really great hunt for predators and really unusual animals.
We continued hunting and only had a couple hours left before we had to leave. We spotted a huge warthog. Eva sneaked up and shot her first big game animal. It was 76 yards, muzzleloader, perfect shot right through the heart.
It was so cool. Eva got big tears in her eyes and she was saying that was so cool and so much fun, so I think we have another hunter on our hands here.
We had to leave and Russ drove us to where we met with Steven Tam and now we are at the Tam Safaris ranch where I'll be hunting for black rhino with my Alpine bow. We'll be darting it with a syringe and drug like we did with the white rhino ... vet has to be there and game manager .... jet lagged trying to recover ...
