BK - Maitengwe

PH Comment - Alan

What a great time we had. BK hasn’t changed a bit since our last hunt in 2013 at Kazuma. He was full of fun and very entertaining. We struggled as the bulls weren’t around much. The first 2 days we paused with nothing to follow. Day 3 we tracked up 5 bulls and turned down a 50/55 pounder as I was hoping for a Maitengwe Monster. Almost regretted it as the next day the wind was terrible, and we tracked 3 big bulls that joined with the bulls from the day before. The wind was so bad. They smelled us and left. It was slim pickings from then, although we did see quite a few cows and young bulls. Day 8 we tracked a beautiful big track for most of the day. Day 9 we came across 3 tracks which turned into 5 bulls, once we caught them. There was one old bull with them that we decided was good enough for the 9th day. BK made a good shot (frontal), but I believe the bullet deflected and didn’t drop the bull. It took a small war to finish the job and not a reflection on BKs shooting. After inspecting the skull after skinning we found that the bullets through skull had deflected and not found the brain. A magnificent elephant and a great finish. Thanks BK for joining us once again.

I had the privilege to have some incredible men take me into their office which was filled with adventure. Strong men, smart men, the caliber of men that seldom do you get to share your life with. I thank you all!! Alan Shearing the Professional hunter, Heath a man of great experience, Hezekiel game scout, Sydney game scout, Dube driver tracker, Martin and Maplan trackers all of the men that can see tracks and sense danger possibly where no one else even would know an animal is or has travelled. My life was in the balance with these men - sometimes it felt like being on the razors edge of life realizing it was very dangerous to slide from their directions. Thank you to you all for the time we shared and the next few years are already scheduled for more. Stay well my friends!!
