Our three‑part adventure with the Stover clan crescendos in this action‑packed closer—five trophies, limitless excitement, and every shot told in living color.
The day opens with Greg Salmon and PH Andries Badenhorst glassing a black fallow deer ram on the rolling veld. A slow leopard‑crawl sets Greg into a rock‑steady rest; one smooth trigger pull anchors the dark‑antlered prize.
While Greg is tagging out, Dennis Stover and Johan Smit climb a windswept peak to stretch the .300 Win Mag. Johan ranges a Tsessebe cow at 713.5 yards, dials the “D.O.P.E.” on the Hawke Frontier scope, and Dennis’ bullet finds its mark—the cow folds instantly in the grass below.
Back in the thorn thickets, Travis Koch sets his sights on a hulking Watusi bull. With only 30 yards to spare, Travis shoulders the Ravin R26 crossbow tipped with a Thorn Crown 100 gr broadhead. The bolt flashes true; the giant horns stagger just 20 yards before coming to rest.
White is the color of the moment when Lance Stover whispers that he needs the snowy hide of a rare springbuck. A careful stalk leads to a slightly back first hit—but quick footwork and a flawless follow‑up shot turn persistence into a pristine ivory trophy.
Lady Luck caps the saga as Larry Stover and Andries spot a russet‑gold Lechwe ram. A final stalk closes the distance; Larry steadies, squeezes, and the regal ram crumples, sealing the clan’s Free State grand slam.
