## Caption

Many of you guessed it! The meat was from a big ol ostrich! Again, I stand by that they’re the hardest animals to spot and stalk in Africa. It’s like an 8 ft tall turkey with eye balls the size of golf balls 😳. Every time we saw one, they would take off running when we got to 500 yards. The closest we got before this bird was 270 yards, using a black umbrella, but then he ran too. As for this bird, all the stars aligned for this situation to unfold. We spotted him
right as the sun was coming up, which was directly behind us. So we were between the sun and the ostrich, basically making it difficult for him to see in our direction. So we got out the black umbrella and began moving in closer, and closer. We broke the 500 yard mark, and he still hadn’t ran! Then 300, then 200! We couldn’t believe it. But when we broke the 170 yard mark he started getting nervous, and walking off, but slowly and stopped again. Still having hard time seeing us due to the sun being so bright behind us, he held strong. So we kept inching forward. I knew this was going to blow up any second, so when we got to 141 yards, I said “close enough” I drew my bow anchored on my nose button, and took my time. The shot had to be perfect. It would be my furthest shot today. Everything felt perfect, my shot broke, and my beast_broadheads arched into outpace and came down hitting the bullseye, and he took 3 steps and collapsed! It was absolutely crazy 😳 the trackers and PH couldn’t believe. It was a truly the best shot I’ve ever made with a bow and arrow. Of course, the whole thing is on video and I’ll be sharing it with all of you! #beastbroadheads #bowmararchery
