CunninghamPlease post more. This report is one of the best I have seen here on AR. You must finish it.
I'll throw it in also as a Google translation to see if this gets there quicker. No I do not speak Swedish, as you can probably tell.
Vänligen efter mer. Denna rapport är en av de bästa jag har sett här på AR. Du måste avsluta det.

JohnHunt"5 minutes" probably referred to fuel. He starved that engine until it quit.
But what a great trip. Another winner from Zambezi Hunters!

I can tell this is going to be one of the best reports from the '08 season. It really was a privilege assisting you with this safari.

David HulmeAnton,
You are a great storyteller and you have an awesome story to tell. Out of bed now, we are on tenterhooks and want to hear the rest of the tale. I know there is more to come. That elephant....Well, words fail me.

I second that as I also read it - all about taking the elephant bull, photos of insects and bugs, Mahenya people getting their meat ration, children ridinga cow in the riverbed....How could it just disappear?
Dave
02 November 2008, 19:34
David HulmeWhat a letdown, I was getting so into it, as I'm sure the rest of you were. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Dave
02 November 2008, 19:37
michaeljIalso read it and Anton signed off that it was bed time in Sweden andleft us with thoughts f leopards. What's up? This has been a geat post and I am looking for the next installment.

Same here. Thanks for sharing your story. Hopefully it can be rescued.
02 November 2008, 21:57
Two toneAnton,
If it can't be recovered I hope you have the patience to make a new report for us.
I wasn't lucky enough to see what disappeared but now I'm very interested.
Reading the Instructions - a sure sign of weakness and uncertainty.

A.DahlgrenUPDATED TO DAY 12 AGAIN ! !
03 November 2008, 17:05
David HulmeThank you Anton and congratulations. On both the hunt and the report. It must have been irritating to redo the report.
Dave
03 November 2008, 17:43
DentistCongratulations! Really nice bull and a first class report.
Thanks for writing it again and good luck with the shipping!
04 November 2008, 01:21
A.DahlgrenDavid: Yes it was. I will try to do the full report tomorrow - i still have left a pack of hyaenas and a beautiful bushbuck + a follow up on a wounded buffalo with the two professional hunters(Jonathan Hulme, Ivan Carter) and two cameramen (Lauri Alantwaite, Doug King) and a bunch of trackers. I dont know what made me more nervous all the people watching or the wounded buffalo.
But as i said - tomorrow (I hope)

David HulmeExciting hunting and a few more great trophies, thanks for the update Anton. The bushbuck is an excellent specimen. Looking forward to the buffalo saga.....Great photos throughout, by the way.

04 November 2008, 22:52
A.DahlgrenThanks David it was a pleasure to meet you.
Have you heard anything from Jonny about his elephant hunt ? I think his client had tags on 2 bulls ? Please keep me updated !
Anton
04 November 2008, 23:04
David HulmeHello Anton
No news yet from Mahenya but I'm sure they're hard at it. You know the bull that Jonny wants, right? That one that you saw so briefly...
Anton, nobody can see whn you've updated your report because you are adding it to the original post. Maybe when you do an update you could just add a new post to notify us? Excellent report my friend.
I shall keep you updated on the hunting
Dave
04 November 2008, 23:15
A.DahlgrenDid you see him on the dvd ? 90+pounds ! I must stop thinking about him
before i go mad. I hope he lives until i get back.
Anton
07 November 2008, 13:09
David HulmeAnton,
Yes I did see that bull on the DVD - 90 pounds for sure. I don't think you should stop thinking about him, because your madness might bring you back to Mahenya quicker than anyone expected! That is what big bulls do - they drive hunters crazy. I also hope he lives until you get back, but even if he doesn't there will be another....
Now, where is the rest of your hunting report? It is the weekend now so you have plenty of time to update us on the last part of your hunt. Don't tell me you lost another post?
Take care Anton, we hope to see you again soon.
Dave
