JR - Nyakasanga

PH Comment - Alan Shearing

An amazing hunt. We saw more tuskless ele than I have ever seen, loads of buff and lions galore. Was so hot and dry through and many elephant and buffalo were dying every night. New lion kills every day, we saw lots of hyena, 1 leopard. Not a huge amount of plains game, but enough to keep to us happy. We must have seen 30 dagga boys and many herds of buff. I lost count of tuskless. JR’s Tuskless was shot on day 2 on a charge at 5 paces. Exciting stuff. We looked at lots of dagga boys, some 40” but lacked the qualities that JR was looking for. Day 6 we found the one. JR used his double and shot his buff at 32 yards in the chest. Perfect! Impala in the jesse proved to be tough, but a nice impala was taken on day 7. Day 9 MR took a great old buff with JR’s .458 Win Mag loaded with Nosler Partitions. What a great way to end the season with a great hunter and friend.
