Apologies for the long delays in the photos Gentlemen. Somehow the settings on my camera got mixed up, which may or may not be from the camera getting wet after rescuing my dogs after they swam in after a bayed Waterbuck in a pond. Have to run all the photos through a program first before posting them. Seem to have it figured out.

Luckiest Blue Duiker hunter I have ever met. Is this considered a Blue Duiker Dugga Boy? Notice the secondary growth on the left horn.

Wet cat looks terrible, I know. We tried our best to dry it with a hairdryer, then in front of a fan, but the mud made the cat look Rastafarian. As we drove into a Bushbuck area, we got the call that the dogs were hot on a scent, and relocated to the area. The cat got treed, and the huntress made a perfect shot. Little did we know that the tree the cat was up, was perched on a ledge with a 12ft drop on the other side, with a pond at the bottom. We could not see the ledge due to how thick the vegetation was. After the shot, the cat bailed from the tree, which was followed by a short silence, and a familiar... "gooompffff" followed by couple of more splashes from the first dogs that never knew there was a ledge there either.

Charles, its on one of the areas that we hunt down here in the Eastern Cape. There are actually many Hippos down here in the Fish River.

Can hippo be hunted down there?

Permit depending, yes they can be hunted.

I love little cats! Wet or dry!

Blue Duiker rivals that white Common Duiker from last season. Both amazing. Good stuff.

Water hole/blind or dogs?

Hey Dan!
First of all congratulations on your Elephant. Enjoyed your report thoroughly!

This male was hunted over a waterhole. We sat at the first spot for the morning, but I could feel the wind in my neck every no and so often. At mid day, we got some showers, so I called it, and we proceeded to go and have lunch with the idea to return a few days later. Just too many variables against us.
This was not our normal Blue Duiker spot, and required some travelling. The forecast showed hot conditions two days out.

Blue Duikers need to drink every day, even in some instances, twice a day, and with the showers that fell, I felt that there was enough moisture on the vegetation that would keep them under thick cover, without the need to expose themselves.
After lunch and some coffee, we were just about ready to pack up for the journey home, when something told me, "we are already here, might as well try." So, we chose another spot which had a natural blind, built from saplings etc. We had just sort of settled in, when the hunter got up and went outside of the blind, just to clear and cut some twigs and leaves that were in his way from his position. He proceeded to sit down, and was busy putting the batteries into his ear protection, when this ram came walking from under the canopy towards the water. As he stopped, the hunter made a great, 60 yard, almost facing straight on, shot with a 44 Mag Rifle.

The time from his being outside of the blind, cutting twigs to the shot might have been 30 seconds.

And I thought I was lucky after waiting 15 minutes on the Blue Duiker driven hunt I did with you, cool story.

Had a good time in Zim, thanks. This Africa stuff is making me poor in the wallet but wealthy in the soul.Well that's what I'm claiming anyway. LOL

Need to plan my next trip, you in Toronto this year?

Need to plan my next trip, you in Toronto this year?

Yes sir, I will be in Toronto. First day is 15 March, I believe.

Was there any way that you could bring anything back from your Ele? I know it was tuskless, or was completely non-export?

Hallo my friend Marius
Catching up on your years photos. Looks like u and yours had an outstanding year. Congrats to all involved. R U going to Dallas?

 

[KMG Hunting Safaris]

R U going to Dallas?

I will be, since you owe me for bailing on me at the last dinner. I turned around and you were gone. Wish you were that quiet on your stalks.

 

[jacques smith]

Don't know why I need to be quiet on stalks since u never get us in closer than 5 or 600 yards
Besides I didn't bail Jerome locked me out on smoke break
