Gentlemen,

I am just back from the equatorial rain forest in Congo. It is a great place to hunt bongo with the Baka pygmies by tracking.
I want to share the video:

With CONGO FOREST SAFARIS we are offering a special deal (less than 20K) for September and October 2016.
Feel free to contact me for more details.

Best
Christophe

Believe it or not, there are also Bongos on ranches in Texas!
I saw some a few years ago on a tour of a ranch near my deer lease, but those were not being hunted as the rancher just liked them and was building his herd. Pretty animals!

Nicely done video. I hope the Congo will finally get settled and hunting there more organized. It looks to be little-touched forest with good populations of game.


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Do they have pygmies?

Great video! I was just reading a chapter on Bongo hunting in "Last of the Few" by Tony Sanchez Arino. He thought that type of hunting one of the purest and most difficult due to the terrain and "ghosting" qualities of the bongo. He also thought a bongo to be a potentially dangerous animal and relates a story of two women attacked by a bongo apparently just because of the aggressiveness of the bull.

Great trophy!

Are pygmies on license with the Bongo? Roll Eyes

Thank you for watching the video.
It is really an exciting hunt with the pygmies and dogs. Not really physically demanding.
I also heard that bongo can charge when wounded !!! never experience this case yet..

Best
Christophe

I am sure for an added fee a few 'little people' can be rounded up as PH's. It could be a new reality TV show!

This is on my short term hunt list. I really want a Forest Sitatunga and a Bongo with Pygmies would be interesting. I killed one in CAR from a Machan. Christophe was in camp with another hunter and I got to know him pretty well.

We were actually penned to hunt together, got changed last minute for good reasons.

This and another LDE tracking hunt with Christophe are high priority. Christophe is absolutely the real deal and loves West Africa like no other man I've met. His passion and work ethic are without a doubt at the pinnacle.

Ditto on Steve's remarks -- I hunted CAR with Christophe last year and couldn't have been with a better PH. Hope to hunt with him again in the near future.

Only 10 months to go before I walk into the rainforest again. Bongo, etc. in Cameroon. Hope I heal from the knee surgery without issue.

Great video! Thank you.

Thank you for your kind words.
Hope to share the bush with you one day.

Is there a more beautiful game animal in all of Africa? I think not.

Hi Christophe.

Wondering, are encounters with Forest Sitatunga, strictly serendipitous or can one go there and expect to hunt them as a primary species?

Regards,

Steve

Steve,

We can hunt them on purpose.
There are many ways that I will improve during my next 2 months trip in September/October.
The density is very high for this specific specie.
I will let you know.
Christophe
