PH Comment - Alan

We started off the first day a bit slow, not finding anything to follow. We started seeing and following the odd tack after that. We experienced some rain for a couple of days which seemed to help. We saw a couple of nice bulls, but turned them down, hoping for something bigger and it was early in the hunt. Day 6 we found a nice track with a young bull tack at around 11am. We had quick bite to eat and got tracking. We found them around 1pm, wind was bad they were nervous. DS was happy to shoot the big bull, which gave him a brief side brain shot. Unfortunately, DS hit a bit too high and the bull turned and took off. He gave it one in the hip, which we found in the kidney. This was the start of a mammoth 60km of tracking over 2 days before killing the bull. The wind was bad and it sent him running many times. We did have a good chance at him mid 2nd day but before I could determine that it was the correct bull he took off again. Eventually later on in the afternoon we caught up and dispatched him, relieved to have got him - a beautiful old bull. DS managed to get a hyena. Great time with DS and his wife, as expected and we were well entertained by Dan the cameraman, who did a great job camp and food was exceptional.

Client Comment

As our previous hunt with Alan and his experience team, and not forgetting Dan the Camerman, we have had a great experience with the hunt and everything that goes with it. Accommodation has been great and the food has been 2nd to none. The manager at the camp Heath has been great with all aspects and overall the whole experience has been excellent.
