I've just been offered to go along with a friend to Mozambique on a heat of th emoment thing, he is going for an elephant and I would tag along for a hippo with my bow.

Just wondering what the conditions are likely to be? Is it going to be very wet?

Cheers.

The desert hippo is a very dangerous hunt! You've been warned! Couldn't resist buddy!

The conditions will be fine and hippo with a bow sounds like a real challenge. Good luck.

I drove from Zim to northern Moz last May and found it not overly wet but the bush was very thick.

Where in Moz? It can make a difference, but it will be very green and lush (thick) everywhere.

Hippo with a bow? The conditions will be dangerous.

Not really. What we do with bow hunters is make a small raft from a bit of acacia and drift the archer down stream into the pod of hippo. The bull takes great objection to this offering the perfect mouth shot at less than 2 feet. The raft is attached to a rope and if things get a bit sticky we just pull the chap back to the bank.

So, Andrew, you are really baiting Hippo with an archer?

Real long arrows and how fast can you climb?

Pick your PH with due care and consideration.

Fairgame, THAT WAS PRICELESS!

OH MY I must get this to Luan and Aubrey
