This was a tough lion hunt! 21 days of baiting and we did not get a big old lion to feed. We did see tracks of males that we did not see or manage to get bait on. Lots of females and cubs and 4 males (4 – 5 yrs olds) on bait. We had an incredible number of males, approx 11 leopard on bait as well as females. TB lost a buffalo cow so bait was slim at one stage, but managed to keep meat in the trees, thanks to Myles. TB got a decent hippo bull, a 57” kudu, buffalo, big leopard, a tuskless and hyena. We gave it everything we could, but just couldn’t find the right lion.
