G wanted to experience buffalo hunting, so didn’t want to rush into shooting one. Day one we saw a 40” in open mopane at 50 yards and turned it down. We saw a few other good bulls around the 40’’ mark during the course of the hunt. We were on buff every day except day 2. On day 8 we found tracks of a herd (which were being followed by lions) early and by 0730am we caught them in fairly open ground. We chose a 38’’ bull and G took a quartering on shot at +/- 70 yards. He ran about 100 yards and went down and started bellowing. Two lionesses rushed up to and a group of bull ran in and chased the lions off before running off themselves. A great way to end our buff hunt. The next morning G shot a nice kudu bull. A great shot at about 300 yards. The last day was spent looking for warthog, and although we saw a few we never saw a good one. The weather was cloudy and cold and one day of rain on and off.
