Given his previous experience, how were you able to get away without Bwana Alex this time?

Whew, that must have been scary. Meeting that old codger DOJ in the bush!
Too bad Frank and Joyce were not with him, that would have softened things up a bit.
Thanks for the excellent read.

Thunder HeadCongrats on a fine Safari.
That type of adventure is exactly what i am looking for the next time i visit Africa.
I have walked in the foot prints of the elephant, listened to lion roar and met the buffalo on his turf. I shall never be the same.

MartyGreat report and outstanding photos. I will be leaving for Dande and a bull hunt with Buzz in eight weeks, and reading your report really made my day.
You are absolutely right about Buzz making you feel like a partner.
I always swore I would never spend what it takes to shoot a bull, but as you have learned, elephant hunting can be a life changing experience. Being in their presence, up close, with a job to do. I can't wait.

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

R.JollyThanks for a brilliant report. Like Mike and Tim said it brings back great memories of good times and friends. I will be back at Dande in May for another bull ele and a lion - perhaps I should just wait in the skinning shed !
29 December 2010, 22:48

Having hunted the Dande several times and having been in many of the places in your pictures I felt like I was home again.

Bill CSuper job KPete! Buzz is just so darn photogenic, isn't he!
Buzz hosted my sons and I on a trip back in 2005, and one would be hard-pressed to find a PH as accommodating and enjoyable to be around.
http://forums.accuratereloadin.../6321043/m/600105803I really enjoy a trip like yours, there is so much to do and see when in Africa, and often it is the little things that set a good hunt apart from a great one.
Well done to all!

Well done!

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of drought and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror
The wide brown land for me!

bwanamrmExcellent report... well documented and great pictures!
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.

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
