When I arrived in Johannesburg PH Janneman was standing there to greet me We
immediately hit it off on a positive note that resonated the entire trip
The hunting was outstanding and challenging We saw all sorts of different species of
wildlife every day The shots were as long or as short as I wanted them to be I shot a 30shy
06 with 180 grains Barnes TTSX bullets My shots ranged from 150 to 270 yards
Butch with one of his cull ostriches
Throughout the week I took two impala a very impressive OLD Wildebeest a Burchells
Zebra and a Red Hartebeest that was so big he looked awkward We also had a great
time culling Ostrich I forget how many but the number 11 comes to mind I will use those
skins to make some fine leather goods for my wife daughter and granddaughter
Please enjoy some photographs of Butchs great harvest

This was thanks to the keen eyesight of Norman (one of Somerbys skinners) PD
confirmed that it was a shooter and one shot through both shoulders at about 225
yards
We managed to spot and stalk a very mature and wide Kudu bull We played the wind
exactly right and it walked right to us
Sal next harvested a really nice waterbuck followed by a grand bushpig
We snuck up into the stand and within ten minutes we could hear the pigs About ten
minutes after that we saw one and it quickly disappeared only to bring back four others
about two minutes later Five minutes after that our pig arrived and eventually presented
a clear shot once it turned and faced us The shot was placed right behind its head and
pig immediately dropped in place

proud as a father

bulls Once identified we stalked to about 60 yards and I was instructed by PH
Janneman to take him Once broadside I dropped the buffalo with a spine shot with the
trusted 375 Winchester with 300 grain Barnes X As the death bellow was heard the
remaining herd returned to investigate The buffalo were restless coming back and forth
and surprisingly another bull showed up PD put my brother on the second buffalo and
again another fine shot from the 375 Winchester in the vitals The buffalo may have
ran 50 yards and dropped All this probably within 10 minutes I must say nothing truer
than first shot placement
On the third day Sable was on the list The day started with us tracking sable within 50 shy
60 yards We were trying out the VerneyshyCarron double rifle in a 450 NE as well as the
Blaser 375 Both very nice weapons with good balance and aesthetics Two nice Sable

Shaub Family Holiday
We were really excited to welcome Brian and Michelle Shaub to South Africa with their
daughters for a great hunt and some sightshyseeing in beautiful Africa We met the Shaubs
at the Harrisburg Outdoor Show in 2015 and we were thrilled to host them on their very
first trip to Africa
Brian has to say about Somerby
This was our first trip for our family to Africa and we were very apprehensive There
were many unknowns and we were forced to simply trust Somerby that everything would
be taken care of They did a great job from start to finish and we had a wonderful family
experience Somerbys greatest assets are its people Charles and Lindie took great care
of us and went the extra mile from the time we arrived at the airport until they dropped us
off for our flight home
Brian was extremely pleased with the performance of his new Red Rock Precision rifle
chambered in 28 Nosler Five of his six trophies dropped immediately with only the kudu
going 40 yards before expiring All of the shots were between 150 and 250 yards Brian
has hunted on horseback for elk in the States before and was really looking forward to
doing the same here in Africa Brian maintains that the most enjoyable of his hunts was
on horseback for Vaal rhebok They were able to stalk within 100 yards for the shot This
is a very rare trophy shy congratulations Brian

Shaub Family Holiday
We were really excited to welcome Brian and Michelle Shaub to South Africa with their
daughters for a great hunt and some sightshyseeing in beautiful Africa We met the Shaubs
at the Harrisburg Outdoor Show in 2015 and we were thrilled to host them on their very
first trip to Africa
Brian has to say about Somerby
This was our first trip for our family to Africa and we were very apprehensive There
were many unknowns and we were forced to simply trust Somerby that everything would
be taken care of They did a great job from start to finish and we had a wonderful family
experience Somerbys greatest assets are its people Charles and Lindie took great care
of us and went the extra mile from the time we arrived at the airport until they dropped us
off for our flight home
Brian was extremely pleased with the performance of his new Red Rock Precision rifle
chambered in 28 Nosler Five of his six trophies dropped immediately with only the kudu
going 40 yards before expiring All of the shots were between 150 and 250 yards Brian
has hunted on horseback for elk in the States before and was really looking forward to
doing the same here in Africa Brian maintains that the most enjoyable of his hunts was
on horseback for Vaal rhebok They were able to stalk within 100 yards for the shot This
is a very rare trophy shy congratulations Brian

exactly right and it walked right to us

We snuck up into the stand and within ten minutes we could hear the pigs About ten
minutes after that we saw one and it quickly disappeared only to bring back four others

As dusk was approaching our PHs spotted a trophy impala at about 150 yards My son
was first to task and took him with the first shot with the Tikka 260 Very impressed and
proud as a father
On our second day my brother and I were after buffalo the main reason we were here
We drove to the North West Province in the morning and started scouting until we found
a herd Stalking took a while as they were grazing and we wanted to identify the mature

bulls Once identified we stalked to about 60 yards and I was instructed by PH
Janneman to take him Once broadside I dropped the buffalo with a spine shot with the
trusted 375 Winchester with 300 grain Barnes X As the death bellow was heard the
remaining herd returned to investigate The buffalo were restless coming back and forth
and surprisingly another bull showed up PD put my brother on the second buffalo and
again another fine shot from the 375 Winchester in the vitals The buffalo may have
ran 50 yards and dropped All this probably within 10 minutes I must say nothing truer
than first shot placement
On the third day Sable was on the list The day started with us tracking sable within 50 shy
60 yards We were trying out the VerneyshyCarron double rifle in a 450 NE as well as the
Blaser 375 Both very nice weapons with good balance and aesthetics Two nice Sable
bulls were taken by the end of the day after some hard hunting

off the day with a fantastic 170 yard shot with the Tikka 260 dropping the blesbuck My
brother was next He found a exceptional trophy waterbuck and after some tracking and
a runshyin with some rhinos it was taken with the 375 Winchester As the day was winding

daughters for a great hunt and some sightshyseeing in beautiful Africa We met the Shaubs
at the Harrisburg Outdoor Show in 2015 and we were thrilled to host them on their very

Brian has to say about Somerby
This was our first trip for our family to Africa and we were very apprehensive There
were many unknowns and we were forced to simply trust Somerby that everything would
be taken care of They did a great job from start to finish and we had a wonderful family
experience Somerbys greatest assets are its people Charles and Lindie took great care
of us and went the extra mile from the time we arrived at the airport until they dropped us
off for our flight home
Brian was extremely pleased with the performance of his new Red Rock Precision rifle
chambered in 28 Nosler Five of his six trophies dropped immediately with only the kudu
going 40 yards before expiring All of the shots were between 150 and 250 yards Brian
has hunted on horseback for elk in the States before and was really looking forward to
doing the same here in Africa Brian maintains that the most enjoyable of his hunts was
on horseback for Vaal rhebok They were able to stalk within 100 yards for the shot This
is a very rare trophy shy congratulations Brian

immediately hit it off on a positive note that resonated the entire trip
The hunting was outstanding and challenging We saw all sorts of different species of
wildlife every day The shots were as long or as short as I wanted them to be I shot a 30shy
06 with 180 grains Barnes TTSX bullets My shots ranged from 150 to 270 yards
Butch with one of his cull ostriches
Throughout the week I took two impala a very impressive OLD Wildebeest a Burchells
Zebra and a Red Hartebeest that was so big he looked awkward We also had a great
time culling Ostrich I forget how many but the number 11 comes to mind I will use those
skins to make some fine leather goods for my wife daughter and granddaughter

This was thanks to the keen eyesight of Norman (one of Somerbys skinners) PD
confirmed that it was a shooter and one shot through both shoulders at about 225
yards
We managed to spot and stalk a very mature and wide Kudu bull We played the wind
exactly right and it walked right to us
Sal next harvested a really nice waterbuck followed by a grand bushpig
We snuck up into the stand and within ten minutes we could hear the pigs About ten
minutes after that we saw one and it quickly disappeared only to bring back four others
about two minutes later Five minutes after that our pig arrived and eventually presented
a clear shot once it turned and faced us The shot was placed right behind its head and
pig immediately dropped in place

proud as a father

bulls Once identified we stalked to about 60 yards and I was instructed by PH
Janneman to take him Once broadside I dropped the buffalo with a spine shot with the
trusted 375 Winchester with 300 grain Barnes X As the death bellow was heard the
remaining herd returned to investigate The buffalo were restless coming back and forth
and surprisingly another bull showed up PD put my brother on the second buffalo and
again another fine shot from the 375 Winchester in the vitals The buffalo may have
ran 50 yards and dropped All this probably within 10 minutes I must say nothing truer
than first shot placement
On the third day Sable was on the list The day started with us tracking sable within 50 shy
60 yards We were trying out the VerneyshyCarron double rifle in a 450 NE as well as the
Blaser 375 Both very nice weapons with good balance and aesthetics Two nice Sable

Shaub Family Holiday
We were really excited to welcome Brian and Michelle Shaub to South Africa with their
daughters for a great hunt and some sightshyseeing in beautiful Africa We met the Shaubs
at the Harrisburg Outdoor Show in 2015 and we were thrilled to host them on their very
first trip to Africa
Brian has to say about Somerby
This was our first trip for our family to Africa and we were very apprehensive There
were many unknowns and we were forced to simply trust Somerby that everything would
be taken care of They did a great job from start to finish and we had a wonderful family
experience Somerbys greatest assets are its people Charles and Lindie took great care
of us and went the extra mile from the time we arrived at the airport until they dropped us
off for our flight home
Brian was extremely pleased with the performance of his new Red Rock Precision rifle
chambered in 28 Nosler Five of his six trophies dropped immediately with only the kudu
going 40 yards before expiring All of the shots were between 150 and 250 yards Brian
has hunted on horseback for elk in the States before and was really looking forward to
doing the same here in Africa Brian maintains that the most enjoyable of his hunts was
on horseback for Vaal rhebok They were able to stalk within 100 yards for the shot This
is a very rare trophy shy congratulations Brian

When I arrived in Johannesburg PH Janneman was standing there to greet me We
immediately hit it off on a positive note that resonated the entire trip
The hunting was outstanding and challenging We saw all sorts of different species of
wildlife every day The shots were as long or as short as I wanted them to be I shot a 30shy
06 with 180 grains Barnes TTSX bullets My shots ranged from 150 to 270 yards
Butch with one of his cull ostriches
Throughout the week I took two impala a very impressive OLD Wildebeest a Burchells
Zebra and a Red Hartebeest that was so big he looked awkward We also had a great
time culling Ostrich I forget how many but the number 11 comes to mind I will use those
skins to make some fine leather goods for my wife daughter and granddaughter

confirmed that it was a shooter and one shot through both shoulders at about 225
yards
We managed to spot and stalk a very mature and wide Kudu bull We played the wind
exactly right and it walked right to us
Sal next harvested a really nice waterbuck followed by a grand bushpig
We snuck up into the stand and within ten minutes we could hear the pigs About ten
minutes after that we saw one and it quickly disappeared only to bring back four others
about two minutes later Five minutes after that our pig arrived and eventually presented
a clear shot once it turned and faced us The shot was placed right behind its head and
pig immediately dropped in place

proud as a father

bulls Once identified we stalked to about 60 yards and I was instructed by PH
Janneman to take him Once broadside I dropped the buffalo with a spine shot with the
trusted 375 Winchester with 300 grain Barnes X As the death bellow was heard the
remaining herd returned to investigate The buffalo were restless coming back and forth
and surprisingly another bull showed up PD put my brother on the second buffalo and
again another fine shot from the 375 Winchester in the vitals The buffalo may have
ran 50 yards and dropped All this probably within 10 minutes I must say nothing truer
than first shot placement
On the third day Sable was on the list The day started with us tracking sable within 50 shy
60 yards We were trying out the VerneyshyCarron double rifle in a 450 NE as well as the
Blaser 375 Both very nice weapons with good balance and aesthetics Two nice Sable
bulls were taken by the end of the day after some hard hunting

Shaub Family Holiday
We were really excited to welcome Brian and Michelle Shaub to South Africa with their
daughters for a great hunt and some sightshyseeing in beautiful Africa We met the Shaubs
at the Harrisburg Outdoor Show in 2015 and we were thrilled to host them on their very
first trip to Africa
Brian has to say about Somerby
This was our first trip for our family to Africa and we were very apprehensive There
were many unknowns and we were forced to simply trust Somerby that everything would
be taken care of They did a great job from start to finish and we had a wonderful family
experience Somerbys greatest assets are its people Charles and Lindie took great care
of us and went the extra mile from the time we arrived at the airport until they dropped us
off for our flight home
Brian was extremely pleased with the performance of his new Red Rock Precision rifle
chambered in 28 Nosler Five of his six trophies dropped immediately with only the kudu
going 40 yards before expiring All of the shots were between 150 and 250 yards Brian
has hunted on horseback for elk in the States before and was really looking forward to
doing the same here in Africa Brian maintains that the most enjoyable of his hunts was
on horseback for Vaal rhebok They were able to stalk within 100 yards for the shot This
is a very rare trophy shy congratulations Brian

This was thanks to the keen eyesight of Norman (one of Somerbys skinners) PD
confirmed that it was a shooter and one shot through both shoulders at about 225
yards
We managed to spot and stalk a very mature and wide Kudu bull We played the wind
exactly right and it walked right to us
Sal next harvested a really nice waterbuck followed by a grand bushpig
We snuck up into the stand and within ten minutes we could hear the pigs About ten
minutes after that we saw one and it quickly disappeared only to bring back four others
about two minutes later Five minutes after that our pig arrived and eventually presented
a clear shot once it turned and faced us The shot was placed right behind its head and
pig immediately dropped in place

were many unknowns and we were forced to simply trust Somerby that everything would
be taken care of They did a great job from start to finish and we had a wonderful family
experience Somerbys greatest assets are its people Charles and Lindie took great care
of us and went the extra mile from the time we arrived at the airport until they dropped us
off for our flight home
Brian was extremely pleased with the performance of his new Red Rock Precision rifle
chambered in 28 Nosler Five of his six trophies dropped immediately with only the kudu
going 40 yards before expiring All of the shots were between 150 and 250 yards Brian
has hunted on horseback for elk in the States before and was really looking forward to
doing the same here in Africa Brian maintains that the most enjoyable of his hunts was
on horseback for Vaal rhebok They were able to stalk within 100 yards for the shot This
is a very rare trophy shy congratulations Brian

Next up was a warthog
We had a great experience stalking this pig Jenelle PD and I stalked up near the
watering hole and saw him He was about 150 yards at this time Using PDs shoulder as
my rifle rest I took the shot and the pig immediately collapsed upon the bullets impact
The next day Sal took a really great red hartebeest

This was thanks to the keen eyesight of Norman (one of Somerbys skinners) PD
confirmed that it was a shooter and one shot through both shoulders at about 225
yards
We managed to spot and stalk a very mature and wide Kudu bull We played the wind
exactly right and it walked right to us
Sal next harvested a really nice waterbuck followed by a grand bushpig
We snuck up into the stand and within ten minutes we could hear the pigs About ten
minutes after that we saw one and it quickly disappeared only to bring back four others
about two minutes later Five minutes after that our pig arrived and eventually presented
a clear shot once it turned and faced us The shot was placed right behind its head and
pig immediately dropped in place

bulls Once identified we stalked to about 60 yards and I was instructed by PH
Janneman to take him Once broadside I dropped the buffalo with a spine shot with the
trusted 375 Winchester with 300 grain Barnes X As the death bellow was heard the
remaining herd returned to investigate The buffalo were restless coming back and forth
and surprisingly another bull showed up PD put my brother on the second buffalo and
again another fine shot from the 375 Winchester in the vitals The buffalo may have
ran 50 yards and dropped All this probably within 10 minutes I must say nothing truer
than first shot placement
On the third day Sable was on the list The day started with us tracking sable within 50 shy
60 yards We were trying out the VerneyshyCarron double rifle in a 450 NE as well as the
Blaser 375 Both very nice weapons with good balance and aesthetics Two nice Sable
bulls were taken by the end of the day after some hard hunting

The fourth day was for waterbuck black wildebeest and blesbuck Again my son started
off the day with a fantastic 170 yard shot with the Tikka 260 dropping the blesbuck My
brother was next He found a exceptional trophy waterbuck and after some tracking and
a runshyin with some rhinos it was taken with the 375 Winchester As the day was winding
down the hunt for a bull black wildebeest closed the chapter A mature bull was spotted

Shaub Family Holiday
We were really excited to welcome Brian and Michelle Shaub to South Africa with their
daughters for a great hunt and some sightshyseeing in beautiful Africa We met the Shaubs
at the Harrisburg Outdoor Show in 2015 and we were thrilled to host them on their very
first trip to Africa
Brian has to say about Somerby
This was our first trip for our family to Africa and we were very apprehensive There
were many unknowns and we were forced to simply trust Somerby that everything would
be taken care of They did a great job from start to finish and we had a wonderful family
experience Somerbys greatest assets are its people Charles and Lindie took great care
of us and went the extra mile from the time we arrived at the airport until they dropped us
off for our flight home
Brian was extremely pleased with the performance of his new Red Rock Precision rifle
chambered in 28 Nosler Five of his six trophies dropped immediately with only the kudu
going 40 yards before expiring All of the shots were between 150 and 250 yards Brian
has hunted on horseback for elk in the States before and was really looking forward to
doing the same here in Africa Brian maintains that the most enjoyable of his hunts was
on horseback for Vaal rhebok They were able to stalk within 100 yards for the shot This
is a very rare trophy shy congratulations Brian

Our good friends Bill Keskimaki and Bill Smigelski (The Bills) from Alpena Michigan
joined us in South Africa again for a really great bow and rifle hunt respectively
It was really fantastic to have them here again for an exhilarating hunt with lots of Castle
and plenty of laughs
We started the hunt off in the North West Province Bill K says that it is a really great
place Here he had the opportunity to harvest a nice blue wildebeest with his bow
The next camp was in Free State where he was able to harvest kudu gemsbuck duiker
springbuck and black wildebeest
Bill S was here on a mission His main aim was to get a Cape buffalo Bill succeeded in
his mission beautifully and harvested a grand buffalo

Shaub Family Holiday
We were really excited to welcome Brian and Michelle Shaub to South Africa with their
daughters for a great hunt and some sightshyseeing in beautiful Africa We met the Shaubs
at the Harrisburg Outdoor Show in 2015 and we were thrilled to host them on their very
first trip to Africa
Brian has to say about Somerby
This was our first trip for our family to Africa and we were very apprehensive There
were many unknowns and we were forced to simply trust Somerby that everything would
be taken care of They did a great job from start to finish and we had a wonderful family
experience Somerbys greatest assets are its people Charles and Lindie took great care
of us and went the extra mile from the time we arrived at the airport until they dropped us
off for our flight home
Brian was extremely pleased with the performance of his new Red Rock Precision rifle
chambered in 28 Nosler Five of his six trophies dropped immediately with only the kudu
going 40 yards before expiring All of the shots were between 150 and 250 yards Brian
has hunted on horseback for elk in the States before and was really looking forward to
doing the same here in Africa Brian maintains that the most enjoyable of his hunts was
on horseback for Vaal rhebok They were able to stalk within 100 yards for the shot This
is a very rare trophy shy congratulations Brian
