BS & SM - Unit 6

PH Comment - Buzz

After planning this hunt for a few years it was finally on us. BS and his partner SM had hunted with us before in Kazuma and wanted to take two big elles so we decided to hunt in unit 6 which is near vic falls along the Botswana border. I knew that we would have a wonderful hunt as BS and SM are simply the nicest people you could ever ask on safari - what a difference it makes having a couple that are so positive, enjoy every moment that they have and are great fun to be with. While we saw a lot of elephant close to 200 bulls we were struggling to find the big ones. It has been a tough year in the whole north western region for big bulls – I think due to the late rains we had. Day 11 we eventually found a great bull and SM gave it the most perfect side brain shot with her 375! She can be very proud of her shooting. We knew it was a great bull but due to a very short nerve it turned out a fair bit bigger than expected. Infact it was a personal best weighing in at 73 lbs / side I could not ask to have shared that experience with a better couple! The next few days we tracked and looked at several other bulls but nothing in the same league came across. We did get an amazing 44" sable and a massive hyena!! Awesome awesome hunt with wonderful people and I thoroughly look forward to a rematch in 2028!

This has been a slow train coming but I wanted to write and thank you for our recent elephant hunt this past September. As you remember, this hunt originated by a chance encounter we had at the 2023 Zimbabwe Hunters Ball in Victoria Falls. For two years I’ve been dreaming about tracking big bulls with you. The hunting was fantastic, your trackers were amazing, and the riverfront camp was one of the finest I’ve been in while hunting elephant. We looked at well over 150 bulls before SM, my female hunting companion made a perfect side brain shot on a tremendous 73lb. bull. I will remember this hunt as one of the best I’ve ever been on and although that is true, I must say that we enjoyed our time at the camp sitting around the fire for hours listening to your hunting stories as you and JD would tag team. Thank you for such a quality experience, we simply can’t wait to be on another adventure with you. Let’s make that happen ASAP!
