Had an early season hunt! The first half movement was slow which thankfully, picked up into the second half. This undoubtedly was due to heavy very late rains. We looked at several bulls and had an exiting mock charge. The bush was thick and noisy; it was extremely hard to approach the bulls and see them before they heard us and ran away. Well over 100km tracking we decided on day 10 to take nice huge bodied +/- 40lbs and KP brained him beautifully. KP has been an absolute pleasure to hunt with and he can hold his head high with his walking and shooting – he earned his bull!
