On the way back to the lodge for breakfast, we spotted some ostrich. Gavin asked if I would take one of them out. The ostriches were four hundred yards distant and completely unaware of our presence. Gavin led me into a comfortable, prone shooting position, where I could use my bi-pod. My Night Force scope is equipped with a Kenton Industries elevation turret, graduated in 25 yard increments and specific to my custom ammunition. Gavin re-checked the range and confirmed that the target ostrich was still 400 yards distant. Setting the elevation at 400 yards, sighting carefully on the target ostrich and ever mindful of my breathing, I squeezed off a round and down went the ostrich.
Gavin and David with Ostrich:
A very satisfying morning's hunt was completed by a typically substantial South African breakfast. Gavin makes the best scrambled eggs I have ever tasted. I don't know what he puts in them and he won't say!!
Iain and I went on to shoot three warthogs. This was the last one, a three hundred and fifty yard shot.
Gavin’s hospitality is second to none and we enjoyed fine food at Nduna Lodge, carefully prepared by Wynand, the Nduna Lodge Chef.
Here are some pictures of the Lodge and its surrounds.
