A few more excellent trophies from Spear

Ernest sent me these photos and asked that I post them for him. This buffalo is fantastic if you like heavy bosses. I'm told he was 38.5" wide, with 18" bosses. Heck of a bull!

Ernest has a couple more photos to share, but he needs to send them over in a different format. He got to do a little hunting for himself, and took a fantastic bushbuck and very nice leopard. I'll post those as soon as he re-sends them.

Great trophy!

I always think that Buff trophy quality is primarily about the bosses. Love to have one just like it.

When you get bored with life, start hunting dangerous game with a handgun.

All the best

I agree. Spread alone is a poor way to judge a buffalo.

That is one heck of a trophy!

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.

Nampom, that buffalo was taken with Spear Safaris, Koos Moulder was PH.

Here is the 'little' bushbuck that Ernest recently took himself, along with his kitty.

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.
