Tsholotsho South 2 more 70+ pounders down PICS COMING

Heard from Thys today, Guy came in after I left shot a 70 plus and a 75 pound plus in 3 days
Thys was the PH. He told me they looked at 22 bulls in 3 days.

John Barth has been telling me to book this hunt for years. It is a proven producer.

I tracked mine following tracks from the park about 4:00 pm
Not sure how the new ones were shot but he did tell me they were not at the water hole and they had lots of movement so pretty sure they were not shot at night even though its legal in that area

Is this the area Martin Pieters hunts or are there several Tsholotsho concessions?

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

I think some guys buought quota there from time to time in the past. But Lodzi (Thys) has it now. There is Tshollotsho North and Tsholotsho South
two different areas. We are speaking about South. You would have to ask Martin if he hunted there.
