BS and I had an amazing 7 day hunt in Dande. Top of BS’s wish list was an old dagga boy, with a bushbuck if the opportunity arose. We were on buff tracks from day one and on day three an opportunity presented itself. We followed 2 bulls. One was an old bull the other a little young. We spent about 90 minutes within 30-40 meters of the bulls waiting for a clean shot at the older one. BS made a perfect shot with his .375 Blaser double. BS also took a massive old baboon, but we will have to wait for next time with the bushbuck. See you soon.
