I am posting this report on behalf of a client JC who wishes to remain anonymous. If anyone wishes to speak to him about his hunt, I can request him to do so.

Dates: January 2014
Rifle: 375 H&H
Location: Northern Cameroon
Booking agent: Myself

The focus of the hunt was of course Lord Derby Eland and JC was successful on taking a nice bull, he also took a good roan and some other savannah species including a super harnessed bushbuck and a monster Kob de Buffon. Unfortunately [or fortunately] he twisted his leg very badly in camp and was unable to walk the last few days of his safari. Thankfully the Eland was already in the salt!



Western Kob 20.5"





Giant Eland 48"



Western Roan 27"



Harnessed Bushbuck 13"


I will post another report shortly on my hunt in Northern Cameroon. A word of advice for anyone interested in hunting Giant Eland go now before it is too late. I have been saying this for a while now and with CAR mostly closed, Cameroon is the only place left where one can hunt these magnificent animals.

Thanks JC and congratulations again on some fine trophies.


Thanks for looking.

Well done, some very fine trophies taken!


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.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Great trophies. I did not know that this bush buck subspecies is so much smaller. The horns look huge!
