Myself and my good friend and client Mark hunted with Chris Troskie and took the following game in Natal and Limpopo. We spent
two weeks in the different areas and it was worth taking the time to hunt each area. I would highly recommend this hunt. Excellent
hunt and I can think of no better place to take a quality Nyala trophy, not to mention a wealth of other game. Contact me
if you want to book your own hunt for these indigenous super trophy's!
The slough were I took a wary Nile Crocodile  Neck shot using a 160gr Accubond. Range: 136 yards. Chris got it on video. 
Pair of breeding Buffalo on a private reserve. These bulls were not friendly, in fact they charged our bakkie and chased us for 100+ yards. We were doing 35mph. Too bumpy to get a photo of the chase...I was trying.  Some of the Spring Hare's we got while up in Limpopo. 
A porker that thought he'd gotten away. I cut him off at the pass...ham and bacon time.  In the shade at Chris and Sabina's home: Sabrisa.  Where we had lunch several times; on their patio. 
Looking for Rhino tracks 
Success; Chris and Mark after he darted his Rhino. The last one we darted. 
Mark and I with Heavy Duty 
Mark's White Blesbok. He had a long, long stalk for this ram 
Limpopo Bushbuck I took on the Bushman River. That was a great evening hunt. Saw all kinds of game including geese, guinea's, porcupine, duiker and many bushbuck. This was the dominant ram. When he entered the field, the other rams stepped away quickly.  My Bushbuck and Nyala horns 
Mark's Common Reedbuck 
Another pic of my Bushbuck 
My Nyala 
Mark's Nyala 
 Leopard track in the 2 track. There are big Leopard in Limpopo. Very underrated for trophy toms, and I would highly recommend hunting there. Very little pressure and in some areas..none! 
One we had on bait. Client took it a week later. 
 I would recommend this hunt to anyone looking for a trophy class Nyala. There are Blesbok in the area that will push 18-19 inches and some other good trophies. Contact me if your interested. Good hunting, David |

Hunted emaweni just after you guys, saw your name in the visitors book; there are few views as good as the one in the 1st
chalet when the morning sun appears over the horizon in the middle of the window and you dont even have to get out of bed.
Did you guys see any bushbuck while you were there?

Fantastic report and pics so far David!
The Nyala is outstanding! Time and time again, I'm seeing Chris Troskie getting it done BIG TIME for his hunters on this forum! Not to take anything away from all our fine PH's in Africa, but IMHO CT is definitely holding the lime-light here on AR Forum this hunting season with MANY great reports from our hunters! I'm really impressed by his success and hard work to deliver the goods in style!...It must be very satisfying to represent him as his agent!... Good on him! Can't wait to hear more about the rest of the trip... Aloha! Ro Shoot'em |

Congratulations on some excellent nyala bulls! True toads! I hunted the KZN near the Umfolozi River in '01 but didn't have
the steep terrain you guys hunted in.
Beautiful country! Fantastic hunting! 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 Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. |

David, Great report and fantastic photos! I will have to come along with you and dad on one of the next adventures. Its time
for me to get back in the bush. You will have to give me a call one night and fill me in on things. Also, have you made any
plans for another fishing trip this fall?

Awesome! But what kinda cruel bastard does his trip report in tiny snippets?

What was the total weight of your case? What was United's weight limit? I hunt, not to kill, but in order not to have played golf.... Malo periculosam libertatem quam quietum servitium DRSS Chapuis 9.3X74R Heym 450 NE 3 1/4 |

A fine report of an excellent hunt. Tha nyala are beauts! I had the opportunity to hunt croc in Mozambique in 2006. I think
its the most under rated stalk and shot on the planet.
