various pics, buff and elephant taken in Zimbabwe - Sengwe 1
These photos are various photos that i have taken during the last three months in my hunting area, Sengwe 1 which lies in the south east of Zimbabwe right above Kruger National Park

Enjoy

Cheeky buff


tv


Jimmy had to have his photo taken with this Baobab, note the condition of the veld due to overgrazing from the locals.


Good buffalo bull



Good elephant successfully hunted in Sengwe 1



Sunset from camp when the river was in flood in March



the ivory from the elephant above



crop raiding buffalo and a happy team



two exhausted hunters taking a break next to the successful buff hunt


view of buffalo in the vlei



once again taking a break from following the herd of buffalo



happy hunters after a successful day digging into some great food



wounded buffalo that i got my father in law to take as a trophy and birthday present from myself


buffalo hunting can become a waiting game - we waited over 5 hours for the buffalo to move into grass that was manageable



Locals collecting sap from Lala Palm trees, they then fertment this stuff to produce a "wine" that will send you on an orbit of note


setting up for crop raiding buffalo


view of the bushveld tv room


my veggie garden before the elephant wrecked it


More to come.....

you are right, he is very nice. but that being said his brothers in crime being two old dagga boys were off to the left of the frame and were bigger than him. i put them both over 46" hard bosses but i could not get a decent photo of them.

thanks all
