Nice Caracal!

Thank you sir. I guess having a high population of Caracal is a blessing and a curse at the same time.
We can physically see the product of controlling their numbers over the last 3 or so years in the home property. Bushbuck numbers are flourishing.

Do you only hunt them with hounds or night too?

Do you only hunt them with hounds or night too?

Hunting them at night is pretty fruitless to be perfectly honest. The only real chance at a Caracal is over hounds. One still needs to take care for good conditions in order to give the hounds something to work with. A fresh kill is always a great place to start from.

We took the tracks of a bachelor group of bulls early in the morning. Our tracker spotted the Cape Buffalo bull lying down a mere 80 yards from us. After dropping to our hands and knees, we lined up a small bush between us and the Buff, and managed to crawl to 55 yards. The bull was lying broadside. I could see a few other bulls around him, but the dewlap and roman nose on this particular bull drew my attention. After sitting for approximately 2 hours, we had a younger bull feeding towards us. The wind wasn't great, and I was worried that he would catch the scent. The younger bull turned and fed back towards the group. The group of bulls got up for a stretch, and this old bull had already shown me what I needed to see. As they say, the rest was history.

What's better than a Cape Buffalo bull? Two bulls! After success on the first bull, the buffalo went missing for the next day and a half. On departure day, we had roughly 3 hours before we needed to depart with a cut off time in mind. I sent trackers in opposite directions with us checking other areas. The previous day, we had found two tracks which we followed for a few miles, but never caught up to them. The trackers which I had sent to this area, found two lone bulls in the general vicinity of where we left them. We were radioed, to inform us that they had found two lone bulls and managed to close the deal on this big bossed bull.
