CAMEROON: Bongo Hunt In Cameroon

This is so wrong on so many levels.
 
Safe travels and like the rest of the herd, I wish you a great and successful hunt. May your trackers be the yoda of Cameroon. Ask your PH if you can do a zoom call mid week for updates with us . :) Live streaming would be welcomed too . ;) . All the best to you and have a memorable safe trip.
 
5th Update:
As my PH launches himself in the river to grab the bongo I can’t help but think the freestyle stroke the trackers are using is clearly superior to the breast/dog paddle he is using. That said it was yeoman’s work by the entire team to find and bring this beauty to shore.

I feel some may not believe parts of this story...and you know who you are...so may I include an action shot to bolster this tale.

Well told and delivered good sir... Simply outstanding.
 
Sounds like tips were earned on this hunt.

Congratulations on the bongo and duikers.

Looking forward to more of your adventures.
 
Wow, outstanding that you got it recovered! Beautiful trophy! Well earned!
 
Fantastic bongo, a hunt you won't soon forget. Good luck on the buff.
 
What a gorgeous trophy! Congrats
 
What an amazing animal! Congratulations and thanks for sharing the story!
 
With that cliffhanger (bank hanger?) you left us with, I almost hoped crocs had nailed the lot of you! :LOL:;)

Great bull and better story. Your grandchildren will love it one day, and so will every visitor to your trophy room. Congrats. Now let’s get that buff.

Oh by the way, those lads deserve a generous tip.

Before there was "Jake from State Farm", there was "Jim from Mutual of Omaha." Your PH and trackers would rank right up there with Jim.

That photo in the water is an awesome photo. It captures all the emotions one would go through in that situation. Congratulations on getting your bongo.

Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
