Great hunt with great clients. We had some amazing experiences with all of DM’s trophies. The buff was wounded late on day 4. On the follow up the buff had grown very week overnight and went for a drink in the rock pool, fell in and he could not get out. He was finished off in the pool. The hippo was a great hunt and a perfect brain shot. Big bull. The croc took a few days of selecting, but eventually DM shot a good 14 footer with a perfect shot. We got a very nice kudu after 3 attempts at stalking him. A great hunt indeed.
Client Comment
First of all, THANK YOU!! For perfect organisation of this hunt!! Alan has been a great PH. Leading us to buffalo in thickest bush was truly amazing. His trackers were outstanding and such, not to be underestimated. I am very happy with all my trophies, the hippo is outstanding and the croc could not be much bigger! Alan was great in finding this croc and I must say this hunt experience was over expectations as we stalked the croc. Much more fun that sitting in a blind. Alan did not give up on the kudu, truly appreciated. The only animal that we did not get was the bushbuck. Too difficult ….. but we saw at least 2. Camp staff are incredibly nice and the pool at Matombo Camp is worth every minute!
