JM - Chewore South
PH Comment - Alan
This hunt was as usual with J&J so much and laughter. We’ve hunter together for overt a decade and as this was to be JMs last hunt in Zim, it was filled with certain sadness. We hunted for buff and pushed JM to her limits and beyond. I know she pushed through so much pain, but her determination and grit pushed her to agony and exhaustion. We had opportunities every day, but just couldn’t close the deal. Day 7, we started an hour earlier, which paid off. We finally closed the deal with JM making a great shot at 100 yards across a riverbed. Breaking the shoulder and hitting the bottom end of the lungs. What an emotional end!! We continued to have fun and laughter over the last 3 days. I will be very sad not to have J&J sit at the campfire with me but will cherish the many memories we have made over the years. Thank you J&J for being part of my world for so long. Thank you for Daniel McDonald for great footage and company and Dan Norman for the entertainment .

A 10 day buffalo hunt in Chewore South out of Makanga Camp. The valley is very hot in October. The crew that assisted me, they were red hot in their attempts to find me that one buffalo bull that, once shot, would end my hunting career. We saw more than a few but, on day 7 we connected with a bull that, in spite of me wearing white shorts, I shot. He is a special beauty and for the first time since 2009, a buffalo I am bringing back to Denmark. European mount. My gracious friends, Mplan, Martin and Dube. Our game scout Tapiva. My cameraman Dan McDonald. What a awesome group to hunt with. My PH since 2011 Alan Shearing, the man who taught me much. Charlton McCallum Safaris, top shelf outfitters and fine friends. Thank you so very very much. I will miss you.
