ZIMBABWE: Dream Realized

[jgrayjr]

I just finished my successful leopard hunt in the West Nic region of Zimbabwe.
3 days late thanks to Delta airlines, I arrived in camp to several baits being hit, one being quite promising.
I was hunting with @NYAMAZANA SAFARIS and had been communicating with owner and PH Wayne Van Den Berg while stuck in an Atlanta hotel. Wayne assured me baits were hanging and fresh sign was plenty,
I scored on a beautiful mature tom on day day 3 in the bush. And the plan "B" bait had a large male hitting it as well.
I believe Wayne's attention to detail with the baits and blind placement construction contributed to my success.
I am a blue collar guy and this hunt was years in the making, thanks Wayne, Wayne jr. Sam and the rest of the guys.

Congratulations. I'm glad it all worked out.

I bet the end result made those early feelings of frustration fade away.

Beautiful cat, congratulations. Will you be writing a more detail hunt report?

Congrats! Awesome cat.

What were some of the factors that led you to book with nyamazana? I'm years away from a leopard hunt so haven't researched it yet.

Awesome chui! Good that the trip worked out. Sometimes the travel sucks; results are special.

Great cat. Wayne is the man on leopard
What was the deal with Delta?

 

[Arctic97]

Congrats on a great cat! Wayne shared a pic of your cat with us this week as we are scheduled to give it a go later this year. I also had a similar Delta experience last year - only it was 4 days extra. Glad you hung in there. Beautiful Leopard. Congrats again.

That is a fabulous Leopard. It's unlikely I will ever hunt one but I certainly appreciate a great speciman.
Congrats, and well done.
Love the way you set your photo too.
