A great Buffalo with an even better story!

Late afternoon of Day 4 Bobby connected with this bull, an adrenaline filled follow up followed and they caught up to the bull in an open clearing. Bobby made another well placed shot and the bull fell face first into the ground, snapping his right horn clean off near the boss!
Never in my career have I seen, or heard, of something like that!!

The year is off to good start!

An absolute ancient Red Duiker taken by a return client. Hunting these small antelopes early in the season is not an easy task, especially not with all the rain we had, but we were fortunate to take this male on the first day of the Safari!
Well managed areas produce top quality trophies!!

A big Crocodile hunted in the Limpopo Valley! Hunting these river monster never gets boring as you never know what you’re going to get. My client and I connected with this Croc on Day 4 of our Safari

His first shot was on the money and I told him to put in a backup shot, after the backup shot hit the momentum of the Crocs’ tail pushed him back into the water and in a split second he disappeared into the water! We went to get a boat and returned to the spot with some help and started poking around. We soon found our Croc where he went in to, stone dead!!
