I really enjoyed your video - exceptionally well done. We met at Matendere in mid September this year while I was hunting buffalo with Mike Payne - I hope you got that leopard you were after.

Good stuff Guy!

Did that Lion make it after being removed from the fork in the tree?

Baboons and rubber snakes made for a good laugh! rotflmo

The bloody baboons were a hoot!


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!

Hopefully he can film one of my hunts in the future.

Great video.

Hunting buffalo in the reeds along the Save makes for some heart-pounding action.

Your video brought back some great memories, thanks and well done!

Guy Whittall
Dave very nice to have met you and thank you for your kind words.Unfortunately we did not get the leopard.All proved pretty frustrating as the younger tom got in the tree 3 nights running. The big fella had a young lady on his mind and thought that was a better option than a feed. Please pass my best onto Tom Bogaczyk.

Mandla unfortunately the young lion did not make it. He died soon after we got him out of the fork of the tree which..Pretty emotional moment but we did the best we could. A special thanx to Jesse for dropping everything and driving 70km to help the young fella.

I am chuffed you all enjoyed the video and our daily mid day entertainment with the baboons. I wish Ray could keep the camera still to witness some of the facial expressions.

Whittall's are great people. Humani is an awesome place. Fantastic footage. Well done to all involved. That one tusker cow clearly has a problem!

Thierry, we were chased by a different cow on our first day. She chased us for a good 400 yards before stopping, not as for as the one in the video.

Hope you are well mate. You should come back to the UK sometime and do some more shooting with me.

Mike

Most excellent. I last hunted Humani over twenty years ago. Been too long ..

Great video with lots of trophy animals. Not much shooting, though.

The sequence with the elephant chasing the truck is a good reminder of how dangerous a determined elephant really is (not to mention the hunters running).

Thanks for sharing.

That was great Guy ! Brings back fond memories of the times at Humani and Chewore. I see the picture every day of you,Rich Taber and I, drinking far too much homemade beer that we picked up over in Dande out of a Kudu horn after I got my lion. Great times !!

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

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......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Bama15 yes the Python can swallow a fully grown impala. We went back early the next morning and the impala had disappeared.There was no cat or dog sign anywhere around the scene. I personally have witnessed this on 2 other occasions but never had a camera.
