Very nice Marius, thank you for sharing with us.

It really is very good to see lady hunters.

Many nice trophies. How do you hunt the caracals - what method?

The good rains continue to bless in the trophy department, especially the bushbuck!

Congratulations great photos I see there was no shortage of Bushbucks

Thank you Saeed. Especially with how much flack they have been taking recently, always good to see the ladies join in the action.

Great trophies.

Nice pics.

That had to be the most unusual kudu ever.

Lot's of smiles in those photos, well done. It does my heart good too to see that orange Blaser in some of the photos.

Nice trophies Marius, no doubt I have a date with a bushbuck in the future

Nice pictures and trophies.... The bushbuck are exceptional and numerous it would seem.

Thanks for sharing, Marius. You had a great year. As said by many others, the bushbuck are impressive.

Marius, those are great pictures!

Like others have mentioned, some very impressive bushbucks. I really like that bushbuck with the fast twists in the father and son picture with the warthog.

Looks like you have had an excellent season. Outstanding Bushbuck trophies and the rest.

Great trophies; especially the kudu and bushbuck.

That tall narrow kudu is a beauty.

Sounds like a fun hunt. In the States sometimes a mountain lion or bear will get after the hounds. Do the caracals ever go for the hounds? - just curious.

Most cats will tree. However, a couple of the bigger cats will challenge the dogs and stay on the ground to take them on. If you look at the photo below, you will see the cat has a wet coat. This particular cat did not tree and backed into a small pond. One of the dogs got too close, and the Caracal slammed its paws into the back of the dogs neck and dragged it under the water. The handler kicked the dog off, which gave the hunter a chance to make the shot.
Keep in mind that a Caracal is far from the size of your Mountain Lion, so will hardly be a threat to a dogs life. However, ferocious and punching above their weight for power is an understatement.




This photo is of my Jack Russel tracking dog. One of our hunters wounded a Caracal just by chance from the deck of our lodge early one morning before breakfast. As we were not on a hound hunt, we made use of what we had...
His ego took a bigger beating than the physical wounds. No honor in being beaten up by a cat....





Here is the culprit:

Great pics, love the bushbuck!

We hunt foxes with "Jack Russell Terrorists" here in Australia.

They are great dogs...........

Absolutely great dogs! Just added a second one to the ranks. On Bushbuck, two dogs are a lot safer for the hunter and the dogs.
Jack Russels - too much heart to fit into that small body though.

CONGRATULATIONS MY FRIEND

Love the Eland, and that first gnarled-up Kudu is a freak show! :-)

Fantastic Bushbuck, well done

Grate pictures

My dog man for caracal was Ford.
He's good.
Thinking of booking a hunt.I love the cape.

Yip, he's good. He's about 1 hr from us. He was busy running the hounds for my hunter, when the Caracal got wounded and whacked my dog early the morning.

Great Photos Marius.
I love that non typical kudu.
Keep well buddy.
Dave

You need a dogo Marius
