My all-time favorite client. The plan was to take an ancient old dugga boy, with DP 500 WR double at close quarters. We the most wonderful hunt. We had lions charge us whilst on buff trails. Saw 100s of elephants, hand the pleasure of Richard Harland and his charming lady Peggy to entertain us in the evenings. On the successful hunt we picked up our old bull for several kilometers and found time coming back on his tracks. DP dropped him at 11 yards and he did not take a step. We also go a zebra. Looking forward to next year.

It does not get better, hunting with great friends, having great laughs, and hard hard hunting with long grass, many 10km tracking sessions. We got our beautiful big leopard 2nd last night and then an awesome old dugga boy on the last day.
Client Comment - DP
Outstanding dugga boy hut via tracking. Two long days out walking resulted in bulls mixing herds and running off. Downwind, or not been old enough to test our residue and patience. Our luck turned on day three when our tracking took us to an ancient old bull in heavy cover and advantage wind. He stepped into an elephant trail at 11 yards and fell to my WR 500 NE open sighted double rifle. Buzz and his crew of trackers and driver did an exceptional job at every phase. I am coming back in 2026.
