KE - Dande

PH Comment - Myles

Our fourth buffalo hunt together in Dande, so I was very much looking forward to sharing a campfire again with KE and RE! KE was after an “unusual and old” buffalo – the uglier the better. So, day 1, we got settled in and checked the zero in the .416 Rigby – perfect no problem there at all. Afternoon was a little driving / scouting which was very productive as we got into a big herd of several hundred animals. Day’s two and three were spent on dagga boys and smaller herds, we were seeing lots of tracks! After lunch on the fourth day we followed a medium sized herd close to the Mozambique border, and after 3 hours of shadowing them finally got into a really good position on the sticks where we could have a good look. There must have been 8 or 10 old dagga bulls but one grabbed our attention immediately – his rack was worn smooth indicating a good old bull. There was something else too – anyhow I suggested to KE he take it – which he did. A very measured shot off the sticks at about 120 yards. No mistake – he was keeled over in 40 paces. When we got up to him we realized that he had an old snare that had grown into the skin on his face – so not only was he a good old bull but very clearly unusual too. Excellent result and another truly rewarding hunt!
