Message from Fairgame: The man eater of Nyimba was shot by Thor Kircher and myself at 9am yesterday morning at a few paces and after an extremely hairy all night pursuit through grass and thicket. Thor head shot it at close range. Never in our lives had we experienced such an intense and frightening set of events, and the full story will be told at later date. The night before Thor and I were charged by two Lions at close quarters in the dark and on our way to a blind. It was totally unexpected and we had to shoot our way out, however Thor had hit the male in the neck. This was just the start of what was the greatest and most harrowing events of our lives.

The Lion was relatively immature and estimated at 4 years. The front left canine was missing and there was infection in the cavity. Thor Kirchner Munyamadzi Game Ranch +260 978157643 P.O. Box 570049 Nyimba, Zambia www.thorwildlifesafaris.com munyamadzi@live.com | |||

+1. Was the lion that was shot the same one that was wounded on the way into blind? Must have been a frightening experience. Mike | |||

I managed to shoot it in the neck but as it was dark we were not sure of the shot although there was lots of blood. We followed the blood trail and finally put it down early yesterday morning. I shot it in the head and Andrew put two in it's chest. Thor Kirchner Munyamadzi Game Ranch +260 978157643 P.O. Box 570049 Nyimba, Zambia www.thorwildlifesafaris.com munyamadzi@live.com | |||

Glad to hear both of you gentlemen are unharmed... must be a helluva story. Can't wait to read it!

Thor and Andrew, Job well done. I'm sure it will be an exciting story and I look forward to reading about it. George "...Africa. I love it, and there is no reason for me to explore why. She affects some people that way, and those who feel as I do need no explanation." from The Last Safari | |||

Glad you gentleman are ok! Getting charged by lions at night has got to make a persons backdoor tighten considerably!! | |||

Wow, they're still out there, aren't they? Looking forward to the tale. From the pictures, it appears to be another maneless lion. So was the Mfuwe maneater as well as the famous Tsavo twins. How many others, I don't know, and perhaps it's just coincidence. | |||

Well done! Very happy to hear that the lion is dead and that you are not! Dangerous business, indeed. Nothing like stalking a lion, not to mention a wounded lion and at night! Needless to say, I and many others are looking forward to the full story. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

You guys lived up what Ive read about when I was young. unbelievable, love it, glad you are OK. Can't wait to read about that.

if the lion was only 4, no way should you have shot him. the proper thing to do would have been to let him kill you both and be properly aged in 2-3 years to see if he was a legitimate trophy  Vote Trump- Putin’s best friend… | |||

Can't wait to read the story. Finally something worth reading on AR.......  Brett DRSS Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member WSF Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick. And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too. May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep. May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip. -Seth Peterson | |||

Location in the photographs looks like a proper place from which to ambush you. Glad you came out on top. Hat off to you both. Milo. | |||

Glad I'm just going to be reading about it. Probably too much excitement for me. We have probably all had that occasion when you are stealthily tip-toeing around the bush, hunting for a bush duiker or something, you come out of the tall grass to a small clearing and there is fresh lion sign all around. Your senses go into overdrive of course, you look around but all you see is high grass. I can't imagine what Andrew and Thor went through must feel like. I'd probably bust some sort of anatomical gasket. _________________________________ AR, where the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history become the nattering nabobs of negativisim. | |||

Also missing a canine which seems to be a common factor in maneaters. I have walked in the foot prints of the elephant, listened to lion roar and met the buffalo on his turf. I shall never be the same. | |||

This is tongue in cheek!!! You guys are going to begrudge a handsome kitty cat the odd native as dinner until his tooth heals? That seems a bit close minded don't cha think?

I offered to come immediantly and assist with getting rid of the terrible brutes. Little did I realize that they were going after the cats Me thinks I am glad I stayed home. Really want to hear the full story sometime. It should be awesome and this is the kind of thing I look forward to in the AR Forums | |||

Just got back into town and still trying to absorb that incredible experience.  Thor and I were serenaded by maidens and joyous crowds flocked the car en route to the Boma. The communities of Nyimba were alive with song.   The man eater was unceremoniously strapped to the top of the car for all to see.  Thor and I never got to get any trophy photos but then again this was not a trophy hunt. The beast was whisked away by Government officials to be shown to other people of importance. The story is one of extremes, of luck and perseverance. Our best laid plans went horribly wrong one balmy evening and I for one feared for my life. Thor is the hero here and spent ten days in the footsteps of these Lions. When I caught up with him at midnight having travelled through the night he was on fresh tracks and we could hear the village dogs baying in the gloomy distance.
