Nick Bowker Safaris

Time for the new school! Howa 1500 chambered in a 300 Win Mag makes putting Boss kudu bulls down look easy! It’s of utmost importance to us to keep our equipment up to date and precise to make sure our clients can make the difficult shots count when they need to!

Hunting Africa with a bow is a truly difficult task. Most of the time guys would be sitting in a blind over a water hole and waiting for them, Sam on the other hand did not have this luxury as we are not set up for bow hunting with blinds and there is minimal cover in terms of foliage.
Sam however made this look easier than what I thought he would, he managed to nail this boss Gemsbuck at 15 yards with Nick guiding him from a distance in the radio at first and then closing the last bit on his own.

It’s always nice shooting something a little different. This golden wildebeest presented a good hunt for Dave and he made a perfect shot when it needed to be made. Well done Dave for getting a fantastic golden wildebeest.

We had found this bull on the first morning of our hunt and trying to be prudent decided to not shoot it and see if we could possibly find something bigger, then with two days of rain Marshall was more than ready to get after this bull. We stalked him in from a ways away and managed to get to around 140 and then spooked a kudu bull… he got up and moved slowly to 200 or so yards and Marshall absolutely nailed him, one shot with the 200gn Eld-x was more than enough to get the job done. Well done Marshall!

What a boss bushbuck taken in the fish river valey

So we had a surprise visit from the man himself and anyone that knows Benj knows that he is only a little bit of a Trump fan. Benj pulled out the stops for this one to impress Boss Don and I’m glad to say he did. This was an absolute chief of a bull and going to tough to beat him in the foreseeable future! Well done Benj

Hunting fallow deer in the rut is a completely surreal experience, the mountains go from calm to pure chaos as the stags come down from the tops. As soon as you get to a property you can hear the clashing of antlers and roaring of stags wandering. After the rut they present more of a challenge as majority of the males loose so much of their body weight and move into the thickets and back up the mountains, for those that have the strength. With the rut being over this stay was no different, but rob made a cracking shot at 200 and dropped him in his tracks. What a boss !
