PH Comment - Myles

It was such a genuine pleasure to share another two weeks with CM & C - young, fit, fun, enthusiastic and great shots all ingredients for a wonderful hunt!!! CM was first off, the mark with two lovely old impala rams – perfectly shot! C Next with what we consider a long shot at 300 yards on an excellent Kudu! Over the full moon the buffalo were giving us a hard time, so we switched our attention to croc hunting where both CM and C got 14-foot crocs off the same bait one day apart! I have never hunted anyplace where you must leave a guard on the bait to keep the crocs off it, whilst you build your blind! Both made excellent brain shots, and it must be recorded that CM croc was just a little bigger!!! The moon waned and buff hunting picked up considerably – C got his very good old dagga boy on the flood plain with the Kreighoff 500/416 – no mistake made at all. Not to be outdone CM was next up with a heart shot on an excellent bull on the periphery of a herd!

Another fantastic trip in Africa. The CMS team was fantastic as always and provided a great experience. I had a great opportunity to take an old dugga boy on the flood plain with my late father-in-laws 500-416 double. My wife C made an outstanding shot with her 375 on a great buffalo. One shot in the heart. We were both blessed to take 2 great crocodiles. We also had great plains game success, and I had the opportunity to a great kudu bull on the evening hike along the river, topped off with a great sunset. We are excited to be back on another safari soon! As always THANK YOU for another great experience.
