Cahorra Bassa October
Just returned from Moz

Will give more photos and details later, but it was hotter than hell in a microwave,

Clients were great, meaning too me that they had open minds about hunting in such a wilderness, happy with whatvere happened or not,

SO as JDollar says " Expectation breeds resentment"

So we ended up taking a 66 Pound Elephant, 2 x 17+ iNCH Chobe Bushbucks, 3 x Impalas, 2 x Baboons, and a Massive 34 Inch Hippo, and a very cheeky Hippo bull on land with the 500 Jeferry








Will post the other pictures later

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.

Congrats on a great season Walter!


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!

Thanks Guys

The bottom line is, I have had some great clients this year,

A couple from AR, Brad and Jerry , took up a cancelation hunt, and came with open minds, and I think their trophies speak for themselves,

They did not walk in with impossible expectations, and they accomplishedwhat they wanted, altough Brad has too come back for a croc with more teeth, Old Toothless wonder was certainly the oldest croc too date.

Then the next group the same, they came with a wish, but no impossible expectations, and we exceeded them,

So from me, thanks too the clients out there that realises, that Hunting in a true wilderness is a experience too be cherished,

That excellent trophies are a absolute cream on the top of the cherries, and of course we will work our asses off too procure them,



But too walk in there with the rcordbook under one arm ! , things might not end up as you want it too be. and you might go back dissapointed

So once again THANKS too the great people we har this year,

Whether it was for Bird Hunting, Plains Game in South Africa or DG in Mozambique,

And we are pleased too announce that we have also added more hunting area too our exsisting one in Moz, and we do have Lion on quota,

This area is excellent for Leopard and Lion!!

So if you are interested , start the process now
