South Africa

I'd probably go there and end up shooting a button buck, a jake, and a shoveler

looks like fun and good job including your family

Day 4:

Final animal for Woodrow. Rode around for 3 1/2 hours and never got a shot at an impala. They were super skiddish. Maybe only one opportunity where I would have even shot, let alone a 10 year old. Found a group in the bush, we were able to sneak within 120 yards, this one came through the window he was looking through. Neck shot, bang/flop.

Day 5:

Morning hunt, just myself shooting. Guinea fowl are a bitch to kill. If I had a good dog (we had no dogs) I could have done work on franklins.

Afternoon hunt (only me shooting). Lost about 10 dove in the thorns and water hole. Got a Guinea fowl. Finished the trip with a double on two franklins while the sun was going down, with an old side x side.

Fantastic

Wow - it looks like laughing doves, red-eyed doves and those annoying ring-necked doves. Ringnecked doves are the ones that make the constant "your father, your father, your father" calls. If I have any regrets, it would be not scheduling a wingshoot. But, if I had killed that steenbok I was after, I wouldn't even have those regrets.

Keep the pictures coming.

Shit you look at a guinea wrong for the first 6months of its life it flops over dead. I always figured coming from Africa it would be a lot tougher.

Other than a .22 (would be pretty easy with that), the main method is flying through a field in a truck while the shooter hangs on for dear life, while also trying to shoot. The birds typically get moving about 100+ yards before you get to them.

We busted the group up with the truck, then I sat down in grass and waited for them to come back to the field. After about 45 minutes I got a shot at the one I killed.

We hunted them with beaters. I've also shot them with long pointy sticks.

I did ask John (pictured) to take a video of the truck chase scene … John can spot an animal 300 yards away in thick cover and tell you what it is, he can track animals with the best of them, he is a terrible videographer.

Not enough ppl for beaters, and open ag fields wouldn’t have allowed it to happen.

Awesome trip.

Your experience with guinea fowl probably describes a lot of these fellas first turkey kills.

As cool as it gets!
