Outfitter: Johnny DuPlooy's Muchinga Adventures Booking Agent: Adam Clement's Safari Trackers Dates: August 22 - September 1, 2006 Area: Nyaminga GMA, across the Northern Luangwa National Park PH: Alistar Norton Hunting Partner: Bwanamrm I would like to compliment Bwanamrm's post with several photos of the animals I was lucky enough to harvest. This concession is truly an exceptional place with an abundance of animals. There is truly no shortages of Buff, Croc, Hippo, Bush buck, Leopards & Lions. Johnny Duplooy & PH Alistar Norton hold bragging rights to an incredibly high success ratio on cats. A large black maned lion was seen on the adjacent camp (Chanjuzi) and as of rumors today, a fellow AR hunter (Scott or John) harvested the lion. Hopefully that rumor is true and the pics will be posted soon.  Sunset on the river.  42" Buff  13' Croc (Missing his left from foot)  27" Hippo  Puku  Bush Buck  Baboons  75# Jumbo  Camp Lizzard Great concession, good camp, knowledgable PH: A TRUE AFRICA ADVENTURE !!!!! Special thanks to Laura DuPlooy...helpful, knowledgable, supportive, friendly and a true class act. "How do we inspire ourselves to greatness when nothing less will do" -- Invictus | ||

Very Nice. That is a really good buffalo. Not only the width but the way he drops and curls way back in. Thanks for the report. Kyler | |||

Beautiful set of handlebars on that buffalo, with excellent dropped-mass, to coin a term.  All the rest is great stuff too. Any details forthcoming on the guns and loads? Like, is this a Merkel 470 NE that took the huge river tusker? With a brain shot? 27" Hippo | |||

JohnE , is your Merkel a 470NE or a 500NE? and what were the conditions leading up to the takeing of the Hippo! I took a good hippo, and Buffalo in this area as well, an few years ago. There is certainly not shortage of good Buffalo in the Valley. Your pictures bring back memories, Thanks for posting. Waiting for the blow by blow discription though!

Man, where was I when you shot all that big stuff?  Nice pics, John!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.

Heck, Mike, their PH Alistar Norton took those photos... after John shot that big buff I would have "accidently" found my way behind that bull for a picture if I would have been there!
