Hunters, Henry McMillen, Bill Watson Safari Co. Dalerwa Ventures for Wildlife P.H. Siegfried Osmers, Floris de Meyer Tracker Rekson Delta Nashville Atlanta Jberg 7/23/11 to 8/6/11 Animals Targeted Henry, Buffalo, Nyala, Warthog, Bill Nyala, Bushbuck, (all taken) Also Impala,Duiker, Waterbuck Rifles Heym 450/400 H-S precision 416-300 and Ruger 77 in 300 SAUM This hunt started when we bought a auction at the NWTF it included 7 days with Impala, Warthog and Duiker. This saved some on the daily rate. We expanded it to 15 days with a side trip to Kwa Zulu Natal for Nyala and a Bushbuck for me. The rest of the time was spent ni Limpopo at Siegfried's Camp. Travel was easy with the normal bunch of delays, but we got all are guns and luggage even though the flight Nashville to Atlanta was late and We didn't think they would get them transferred but the next leg also was delayed also. Natal was rainy and windy and cold, but the Nyala were present in good numbers. We both scored the first day. With a promise that there were plenty of Bushbuck at the other camp we moved to Limpopo. Game was very abundant but the Buffalo we were to hunt stayed in the cane along the river and after 4 days we switched areas and connected on a nice old bull that had been kicked out of the herd. In the meantime I caught up with a decent Duiker,Impala, and Bushbuck. I had shot a Impala in Namibia but not as good. Henry also got a nice Warthog as last year He shot a one tusker by accident I had saw several Waterbuck and decided there was room on the wall and the next day stumbled into a very nice one. It was time to put the gun away. All in all this was a Great hunt the P.H.'s were super the service was excellent. Animals were many and good quality. For the last 7 days We were joined by Henry's wife and 2 grandchildren, there is so much to do in the area for non hunters. Upon returning home I contracted African Tick fever, not pleasant. This outfit I would recommend to any one. With contacts everywhere He can arrange for just about anything. | ||
