Great photos

Any elephants?

Saeed, what is Maktoum hunting with his bow? Has he had any luck yet?

Amazing pictures, The kids are enjoying naming the animals. Can we see some pictures with you in them

.

Wonderful pictures Saeed and team looks like you are all having a superb safari.

Especially nice to see so many bushpig (also daylight) soaking up the maggots and juices under the cat baits! Who shot the boar?

Great pictures!

.

Saeed,

The pix are wonderful. Spectacular bird shots.

Well done!

Anders had an adventure with hunting buffalo!
I will report later.
He shot an old broken horn bull.
I shot a sable.
Walter continues his hilarious ways, but finished the day without a buffalo.

I will, once I get pictures from the others.

I am not good at taking selfies

Maktoum starts hunting on the 10th.

He has been acting as Walter's gun carrier, and finding it a very hard job.

He says he cannot stop laughing!

He has tried his arrows on buffalo carcasses and they penetrate extremely well.

Great pictures!!!! Thank you so much for sharing. I have enjoyedthese as much as I used to enjoy watching the "American Sportsman" shows in the 1960's!!!

Sure is a mighty big country.

Looks like it would be real easy
to get lost in. Lots of smoke.

You're all piling up the buff's.
How many so far?

Looks like everyone's having a good time.

Thanks for sharing it all with us.

Saeed: Can you hazard a guess how many Buff you’ve shot while hunting with Roy and Alan? Just curious.

Nice sable. Saeed, I enjoy the flora and fauna photos as much as the trophy pics. Keep them coming.

Nice photos, Saeed.

That is one lonely elephant in that forest.

Well I finally got a chance to go through all the posts here. Fantastic photos Saeed!

The amount of Buffalo on the new concession is impressive.

For those of you following this adventure (like me) and have wondered why no recent posts or photos, I received the following from Saeed:

"Would you kindly post on my hunt report that we are having a bit of Internet problems.
We can send sporadic WHATSAPP messages but not access the Internet
Trying to sort it out since Wednesday but this bring Africa we are promised a solution by tomorrow.
We have shot 12 buffalo so far and assorted plains game
Maktoum is still out hunting trying for a buffalo with a bow.
Yesterday I shot a buffalo
This morning Roy got a zebra and I got a buffalo
I have lots of photos to post once we have access.
I appreciate you posting this."

Mystery solved!

Thank you K Evans, and to Saeed also for sending these wonderful reports of the ongoing adventures of Walter.
The delay will no doubt give many of us time to catch up....

I love this one!

What are the odds?

You know you have flies when even the flies have flies!



Hope you get reconnected soon, Saeed.

Karl, thank you very much for posting me message.

This is several days report

Had an interruption in our Internet connection.

Anders shot a kongoni, and this is his last hunting day.

Tomorrow is a day off for everyone but our team, Roy and me hunting with Alan.

Day after Maktoum and Victor start hunting.

Maktoum is going to try his bow on buffalo.

Roy shot a buffalo today.

We chased several duggaboys in th morning and they beat us in very thick bush.

Tried to find a good bull in a herd and nothing was found.

Stopped to have lunch by one of the many rivers here.

Had our lunch, and Roy went out of the forest to have a look.

He saw a herd feeding towards us!

We stalked them and he shot a bull.

We had a very strange experience today.

Out driving we saw three African hunting dogs.

We stopped and took photos and videos, they did not seem to be bothered by us.

We left them and drove alone, they followed us.

We stopped again to see how close they would come.

When they were about 50 meters from us, a steinbuck jumped up and takes off down the hillside.

They took off after it.

We wanted to follow and see what develops, but the side of the hill is very bushy.

While driving, a treet branch was blockoing our way, we stopped to cut it.

There was avine snake on it!?

Took some pictures of it.

We nt to look at a very long green valley.

Found reedbuck, jackal and a herd of buffalo.

No decent bull so we left them and continued.

At the end of the valley we saw another herd feeding, and a decent bull was with them.

The wind was right, so we got to an ant hill parallel to where they were going.

The bull appeared, and one shot put and end to him.

Packed up and headed to camp.

Tonight is BBQ night.

Victor shot a duiker.

Victor shot reedbuck.

Roy shot a zebra and I shot a buffalo.

This morning I got a buffalo, and we just brought back to camp.

Perfect perforance from the Walterhog bullet.

He was waling away, bullet went into the rear of the stomach ahead of the right hip.

We found it in the neck on the left side!

very nice Saeed,

i like your fish eye photos.

some great photos and trophies.

Glad to see that internet is back up, great photos! Mlele seems like a very interesting and beautiful area.

Have you had much luck yet in getting any good cats to bait?

Saeed Thank you for the wonderful photos. They tell a story of your amazing adventure. Brian

Saeed
Utterly fabulous Roan. Who was the lucky hunter ?
In the pics of Alan holding an aerosol can is he spraying ticks in the Buff's groin ? If so please tell why.
Looks like you guys are really hitting your stride now. Thanks for all the amazing pics and I hope your successes continue. Cheers.

Alan is using DOOM to burn the ticks off the buffalo balls.

Out trackers were complaining the ticks got onto them as they carried the buffalo.

I shot the roan.

Funny thing is every roan I have shot has been late in the day, and this was no exception.

Saw them running across our tracks, and followed them.

They were in all sorts of thicket, where one can see parts of the animal but never the whole body.

Eventually we saw this bull looking straight at us from about 120 yards.

One shot into the chest and he was in the bag.

This concession is amazing in the amount of buffalo and sable on it.

Water is everywhere. Sorings and little rivers.

No cats fed our baits, except a one eyed lioness.

Trouple is lots of young animals, so the cats are probably very well fed.

Roy shot a kongoni this morning, and we decided to take the rest of the day off.

Had a great day yesterday, as I shot two buffalo and a roan.

The other two teams are still out.

Found a poachers camp, and set fire to it.

amazing. are you going to put up a full Report with videos and everything eventually?

That roan is awesome. And great to see the hartebeeste.

The bosses on that one buff a couple of your posts back are mind boggling big!

Excellent photos, Saeed, and beautiful landscape. Thanks for sharing.

Is this a Ruger? Looking at the size of the barrel, is it a .416 Rigby?

Victor shot a buffalo after a hard hunt.

7 hours of tracking!

Maktoum is still playing around with dugga boys - or rather, dugga boys playing with him.

He keeps getting very close, but not close enough for bow range!

It is a cat and mouse game between them, and he is very persistent.

But, this is real hunting, unlike the blinds put by water holes and feeding places in farms in South Africa.

Yesterday he got to within 60 yards to one lying down.

The wind changed, and the bull took off.

Hopefully he will get his chance.

Maktoum decided to give his bow a rest for a day, and shot a buffalo.

Roy shot a warthog.

We took it a bit easy and had lunch at camp.
One of our leopard baits was visited by a leoprad, and we put a blind up and decided to go sit there in the morning.

Well, we went to the leopard and happily sat in the blind.

At first light, just as one would expect to shoot, our truck arrived.

They said they heard a shot and came over.

Red faces all over.

We decided to drive to an area where topi and hippo are.

A few kilometers we spotted a sable.

We went after him, but he was in a nasty thicket, where one could only see a glimpse of him.

We followed him.

Suddenly we see two dugga boys.

Again, very bad visibility, and one can only see a small black patch.

Alan asked if I could see the buffalo. I could see the tips of their horns, nothing else.

We moved a bit and then I could see parts of the horns of one, and part of his ear, and a bit of black.

Alan said that black patch is his shoulder.

I said "a bit to the right of the horn and a bit lower ok?"

I saw him put his fingers in hsi ears, so I assumed that was the right place.

I fired.

He took off, and we ran after him.

Saw him standing barely able to stand, shaking his head.

One more in the head dropped him.

Found the first bullet took both lungs and the top of the heart.

Loaded him up and headed to camp for a late breakfast.

Saw a betteleur eagle on a tree, and stopped to take a pictures.

Then we saw a bike!

We went to look, and it appears it was left by poachers Alan chased earlier in the year.

I thought it would be fun to ride it, unkowingly creating a gang of papperrazi!

People, each with a camera, phone, videocam screaming support!

There you have it, one screw up leads to another.

If we had shot a leopard we would have gone back to camp, and missed all this fun!
