introducing the newest member of our decor! Jamie shot this female gemsbuck just 2 hours ago. It measures 90cm and 91.5 cm.

Danie urgently said they were leaving and to shoot fast! One shot later and she was now Jamie's. It all happened in a matter of 5 minutes. He is pretty happy about the day! What a day for all of us! TIme now for the campfire and stories upon stories...
