Terrible news - which makes me very sad ...
My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.
I have arranged a buffalo hunt with him for 2022 - should be my first ...
I am so grateful to Phil for his help, advice and the pleasant communication. It was his attitude (see video) that made me go hunting with him.
Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to get to know Phil personally, but I'll still remember him at anyway!

Rest in peace - Weidmannsheil!!!

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci
