Back to KMG, finally!

[Mark R]

Tim, glad that the alternate plan will work out. Where in Zim is that hunt going to take place? Does that mean you have to split up and hunt separately or do you get to tag along on his elephant hunt? It would be awesome to tag along on something like that.

It's sad that South Africa hasn't figured out the permit issue yet. I wonder how long it will last before they do.

I will be back hunting with KMG next year. I think I'll be there the same time as a friend of yours? Good luck on your buffalo hunt, I am sure you will run into a great bull to take. We saw a huge nyala bull there as well, in case you need an additional target of opportunity maybe it's still alive?

Hi Mike, we fly into Vic Falls and Tim will be there with bells on controlling the camera. Looking forward to it so much as this trip not only has been a long time coming but is a dream come true, a hunt I never thought I'd be able to do and Marius has made it happen........

Good luck with your hunt next year with KMG and that friend of ours........ well that's a very loose term

Thanks Mike! I got a nice Nyala with Marius in 2018. So a nice Cape Kudu will be the target down south this time.

Marius did give me the option to come to Zim, or to go straight to Limpopo to start hunting buffalo. So even though it will make things tighter for time, we planned this thing together all along, and I figure success is going to be pretty hollow if we can't share it. So, like Mark said, I'm going along for the adventure! Can't wait!

Good luck next year mate, you'll have fun with the Aussie boys!

Good luck!

 

[Mike B.]

Oh man, I am jealous you two will have that experience. I would have given up hunting days to make sure I was there for that. You can always go back again right? I can't wait to see the pictures. It's on my bucket list of things I need to do.

Tim, that area you will be hunting the buff at will give you a great hunt. I hunted there last year for buff and hyena. I came home with a good one of each but you'll have to have Marius tell you about the hyena hunt and what happens when your hunter has lost most of their hearing

 

[Mark R]

Mike B, Tim will be accompanying a hunter that has bad hearing. What??!!

 

[Tim Blackwell]

It's good to see someone else has great taste in beverages. Bundy has a style to suit every taste from plain and basic ( a bit like me), over proof and some rally nice reserve blend. If you go to the Bundy factory you can even blend it to your taste.

@Tim Blackwell best of luck! Have a great safari. We finished our KMG safari last week with a great trip and like you say Marius always has plan B-Z in the wings to make it happen.

 

[Tim Blackwell]

Well the hunting part of my journey is done and now relaxing in Cape Town with my wife. Had a fantastic safari - full report to come once I can get photos off my camera! Mark still has a few days hunting to go...
