Mike--

Wow, what a hunt. Congratulations. I have followed your exploits on the website and in their picture book in Pedza.Also I used your recommendation for CM Safaris as one criterion for choosing them.

Great pictures and good narrative. I wish I had more time in Mururu myself.

My only problem is with choice of a Blaser.They may work wonderfully but they look like Buck Rogers space guns.

Well, done Mike.
Excellent report and photos.
Good trophies, but my favourite was the croc as I really want to hunt one at some stage.
How was Mozambique?
It appears to have good croc population as mentioned by a friend last time i was there.

Thank you for sharing.

Mike,

What a splendid Safari! Maybe one day I'll get over there too. Looking forward to shooting with you again at the fall Hoot&Shoot. Bring the Blaser please. I have never even seen one up close.

Fantastic trophies and superb story telling!

I shot her in the head. Off she went again and I fired another round into her quickly vanishing back side. We caught up with her again and after a couple more shots, she was gone.

You can't stop a buff like you can an elephant. You gotta brain em or let em be. I think John Wayne said that!

That Croc video was especially good, I`m not knocking anyone who sets up a blind and bait but that looked like the way I`d want to do it.

I`ve also learned in my tenure here not to watch croc capping vids while eating.. Chances are a fellow travels to Africa to hunt he probably isn`t carrying a .22 magnum..
