Hunting in East Cape region. I missed some seriously gut wrenching opportunities. Identified a beauty of a stag at 120M, 14pts and fired what i thought was a kill shot... heard the impact... Spent the next 5 hours trying to track him down. Seriously gutting. In the end I came away with a fatass spiker which was needed to fill the freezer. Great trip regardless! Many big animals spotted which got the adrenaline pumping!!!

Shame that you didn't find that good stag hotsoup..they can sometimes be easier to locate when rotten ( smelly ) from down wind of course.
Many trophy animals that were given up for lost have been found by going back after the rot had set in eh.
