What an amazing week in Nyakasanga! We started out hunting a dagga boy with RW day 1 morning we passed up a bull – not quite old or ugly enough! In the evening of day 1 we did track and find a dagga boy we wanted to look at harder at. Day two We picked up his tracks where we left them the evening before, followed him, saw he was a superb bull … RW, on sticks and whack – fine shot! He only managed 200 yards and a few more shots and he was done. A good 11-year-old dagga boy! So, day 3 was JW’s turn. We spent all day tracking different bulls (1), then (3) and lastly (4) of them. They all went into some super thick jesse and no opportunities... Morning of day # 4 into the jesse we went and no shot again just too thick. We did work out where they were heading though and got way ahead of them and four dagga boys in the open – a rare site! Josh shot the best of them but just a little low it turned out. We followed them 4 hours that day and retuned day 5. Another 20km and after a brief and successful encounter and a 13 yo, 42-inch bull was ours! Great hunting conditions, loads of game, fit and keen hunters made for a very enjoyable and memorable hunt.
