Day 2 – Checked a few springs in the morning for buffalo and saw one lone sable about 34” and another herd of sable bulls, total of 9 but nothing interesting. Afternoon got onto a sable herd of 7 animals, 4 bulls. Ron made an excellent shot on a mature heavy based sable bull of 36.5”.
Day 3 – checked springs for buffalo, got on a buffalo herd of +/-40 animals, some nice bulls but left them due to recovery. Saw another 4 sable, 1 being a nice bull. That afternoon Ron shot a warthog for the ranger for meat. We got on to 4 dagga boys, all good sizes with hard tops but the wind & ox peckers gave us away.
Day 4 – we followed a few buffalo herds but no shooters. Saw a few young kudu bulls.
