A great hunt with SB and EVDW. EVDW got his buff on day 3. We tracked buff for the first 2 days, but no shot presented. We picked up tracks of 4 bulls early, bumped them a few times, then caught up with them and EVDW got a shot in at a great old bull. We waited a little while and then followed up and finished him off. The next morning Simon shot his buff out on a group of 7 bulls. Perfect heart shot. That afternoon EVDW shot a beautiful croc, but, unfortunately it just managed to slip into the water and was gone. We searched to no avail, but a few days later we found it floating. We then spent a couple of days hunting hippo on the river. We found an old bull in a pod around 50 m from the bank. SB made a perfect brain shot. A successful and fun hunt and I look forward to their hunts booked for next year.
