FW has hunted with us several times and this was my second hunt with FW. This time we wanted tuskless, eland and bushbuck – so came to Nyakasanga. The challenge was finding a tuskless without a dependant calf. This meant we had many approaches before we found the right cow. FW then perfectly side brain shot her from 14 yards. What an exciting hunt! We also got a very old 14” bushbuck, that I had seen on a previous hunt – went back and found him again! The eland was outstanding, we saw him late evening and then tracked him the next morning. After a few hours tracking, we caught him and FW dropped him with his double. 40” eland bull, could we wish for a better ending?! FW is super relaxed and hunting with him is a lot of fun. I have enjoyed my time hunting with FW and I look forward to a future TEB soon!!
