I am going on my first and maybe last buffalo hunt in Zimbabwe this August. I have six days with Martin Pieters.

What would you consider a respectable bull for me?

I will shoot some plains game as well, but this is primarily a buff hunt.

You can trust Martin and company to not let you shoot something of which you won't be proud. I've killed big-bossed 36 inch bulls that I worked hard for and 40+ bulls that I wouldn't shoot today because they weren't yet at their true potential (and perhaps a wee bit soft... dang, I can't believe I admitted that).

Just go and enjoy!

Any solid mature bull that has reached breeding age and passed on his genes.

Lots of good bulls in the Omay... I have shot them from 35" to 40"! When you get in close, trust your PH to pick out the best of the mature dagga boys and the rest is up to you!

I have never hunted the Omay...so no personal experience, but I do know Russell killed my favorite buff that I have seen in a trophy photo.. with Marty in the Omay...so, expect a good one and the possibility of a great one is there. You are in good hands with MPS...


Good Hunting,

The one that you worked really hard to stalk up close on and then made a clean kill shot. You will be VERY happy with that bull!

Thanks Tim! He was a spectacular buffalo and I could spend the next 20 years hunting buff and not top him...

The Omay produces both quality and quantity! Martin has brought it a long way and it will only get better under his management.

Why go for only 6 days its a long plane ride for a short hunting trip. Book more days and enjoy the country and the continent. you never know when you will be back again so do it right the first time.
