PH Comment - Amir Turk

Not wanting to waste any time in getting bait up, we decided to buy a cow from the villages and start our baiting process, whilst we hunted for tuskless elephant and additional plains game animals to use as bait. On day 8 our luck changed and we had a male leopard feeding. After just 2.5 hours on our first sit in the blind the cat came in and Anders made a perfect shot just behind the shoulder. During the course of our hunt we past up on a number of tuskless elephant. We even had a single herd cross us with an unbelievable 6 tuskless elephant and each one had a dependent calf! A few days later our luck changed and we found a suitable one without a dependent calf and Anders made a perfect side brain shot. A great hunt with an even greater hunting companion!
