AW - Dande

PH Comment - Myles

One week two dagga boys – still relatively early season had me paying attention! Well Dande East was extremely kind to us and first morning by 9.30am AW had taken the better of two dagga boys – great shooting, a fun three-hour track and bang!!! No mistakes made at all!!! With one bull in the bag, we were more relaxed but did decide that if we happened across an old bull we would take him… Well day two we picked up tracks of a lone dagga boy. Small track – but we suspected he was old. He was moving into the wind and there was a nice breeze so for sure if we saw him first things would be good for us! As luck would have it we did see him first – grazing peacefully in a patch of long grass just 10 yards from us! So a very simple shot with the .416 Rigby … turned into drama when the rifle misfired… oops. Brand new factory ammo?? So, I handed over my .458 Lott and CW took him iron sites super close range! Four excellent shots and then a tense follow up as I had no rifle as CW had my Lott! Another 4 shots and it was all over – super exciting!!! After that we got two hyenas off the same bait – both in broad daylight one which was an unusual and welcome treat.
