It took me awhile to get around to posting this hunt report...but wanted to share.

Dates : September 7-14th 2013
PH : Johan Hermann Safaris
Mthimkulu Concession. Limpopo. South Africa
PH : Johan Hermann
Cameraman : Chris Esterhuizen
Team : Freddie, Elias, Pinky.
Rifle : CZ 550 Safari Magnum in 416 Rigby shooting 400gn Rhino softs.

Due to having limited time to hunt on my succesful Elephant hunt with Johan in May I returned in September to hunt Buffalo.

This is a superb area for Buffalo with the genetics incredible. You have a chance to take a real monster here as evidenced by the 47" and 48.5" bulls I took in 2009.

On day 2 I passed a 45" bull which was a bit young and slightly soft in the front.

Here are the two bulls we took.
Awesome old warriors and great memories forever of a fine safari with Johan and Chris. We hunted hard and had lots of fun.


Johan and I with our first Bull.




Chris and I with our second Bull.

Now those are two awesome bulls, the second in particular as you shot him at the end of his time!

Very well done!

Cheers,
Brent

P.S must have been easy loading those bulls with the 'small' cameraman to help!!!

Thanks Brent. I knew you would like him.
When we saw that old scrumcap bull there was no second thoughts.
Chris and I looked at eachother and the moment is captured on film.
Yes, positioning for photo's and loading those bulls is easy with a "bull" like Chris around. A great guy , cameraman and super to have in the field.

Cheers

A couple of nice old bulls. Well done!

Steve - your second Bull would be a serious contender for "Dugga Boy of the year" had you taken him with CMS! Good stuff...
