PC - Matetsi

PH Comment - Buzz Charlton

Last hunts of the season are always tough as it is hot and Phs and trackers are tired - so it is always nice to have great easy going clients and in this case I came out tops! PC and his Dad - affectionately know as “La Captitano" were simply wonderful! When we booked this lion buffalo hunt, the idea was to track the lion, but when we got to Matetsi the grass was very long - so we decided realistically we should also bait! We shot wonderful plains game which we used as bait, but there really were only two lions in the area and one had a collar, which we stayed clear of. The two lions then joined up and were feeding on a bait, but arriving and leaving in the dark. The one day we tracked them from the bait and could have shot the collared one but passed on him for obvious reasons and our targeted lion did not give us an opportunity. The following day we arrived at first light at the bait to find they had not come back. We cut across a river, found their tracks and tracked them for several hours. Luck was on our side and the big blonde mane lion came in the open and PC got a trophy of a life time and tracking - the ultimate hunt! PC also wanted close up and personal shots on his buffalo and tuskless with his double which we managed as well! What a great hunt and I can say how much I enjoyed hunting with PC and his wonderful father- what gentlemen!!
