Hunter Bill McClure had his dream come true when he bagged really good Suni and Blue Duiker with Bahati a few weeks ago in Mozambique after these little antelope had eluded him for many years and many hunts!

For you guys (like Mark) that appreciate the little'uns, enjoy ...

This is a serious Suni - pictured with Marius (PH), Coert (PH and self-appointed alpha male of the Bahati camp) with a very satisfied and happy Bill.



Bills Blue Duiker.

My God what a Suni. Is that the normal coloration of Blue Duiker in Moz? I don't want to forget that is also a very nice BD. thumb clap

Very nice and thanks for posting. I have to admit that reading about these hunts and the Tiny Ten, etc. is very interesting. It would not be good to have the collector bug hit you for these guys.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Die Ou Jagter

That is pretty standard colour for an adult animal. Here is another super Blue Duiker hunted last month:



The hunter is Ossi Hyvonen from Finland.

Roland Ward for Suni is 3" if my memory serves me right. This little fella measured 5" or just over. Just reward for a guy that has been waiting a long time ...

Our hunting area is very strong on the pygmy antelope, especially Red Duiker, Blue Duiker and Suni. Suni hunting is also great fun and very exciting.

And I thought the waterbuck was impressive...that has to be a "top 5" suni! Who said Mozambique was shot out by poachers and the military! Johan, you have some excellent trophies and game populations in your area of Coutada. Congrats!


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.
