My best friend and I hunted Chewore South last year in the end of May and the first of June. We hunted 14 days out of Western Safari's Rosenfel Camp. We did a 2X1 hunt with PH and good friend Nigel Theisen. The camp and camp staff were excellent. We had a great time eating and visiting there in the evenings. John Rosenfel, his son James, Peter Barnard, Nigel Theisen (our PH), my father, my buddy, and myself solved all the worlds problems every evening over a nice mopane fire with our bellys full of good grub while sipping on the appropriate beverage.   We had a great hunt too!!! Our primary animal was buff. We looked over 1000's buffalo and I had a choice of good shots on over 15 bulls.   We ended up shooting 2 nice old dugga boys. My buddy's was 36" and we estimated his age to be around 10 - 11 yrs.  And I shot and even older bull of 11 - 12 years (his incisors were almost gone) that was 37 inches.  We shot various available PG including a very nice Kudu which measured 57 3/4 & 57 1/2. And a very nice 17" Bushbuck.      We saw lots of other game including tons of ele, lion, leopard, hippo, and wild dog.     As I have said before in other posts, Nigel Theisen is a salt of the earth person and a great PH. I highly reccommend him to anyone.  I have known him for several years now and he is like family. He was born and raised in Zimbabwe but hunts mainly in Tanzania. He was with Luke Samaras for many years until he joined Brittingham's new company Tanzania Wildlife Company Ltd. for this season. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Lane, Great report and nice trophies! Glad you had a great hunt and always enjoy seeing guys take their fathers along. My Pop is 73, has six safaris under his belt and is wanting to know where we are hunting in Africa next year! Congrats again on an excellent adventure.

Congratulations on your memorable hunt with your Dad and best friend. Does it get any better? We drove through Chewore South last September on our way to the North and it truly is a beautiful area. | |||

Great pictures. You were luckly to run across wild dogs. | |||

Not that lucky. Chewore area has plenty of them. | |||

Andy, Your right. The first wild dogs I saw were in Chewore. Since then I've seen them in 3 other locations so I'm wondering if they really are that endangered. They are not very wary around people so maybe that has added to their decline. Mark MARK H.

Congratulations on some magnificent animals. My hat is off to you for taking those magnificent, old bulls. They are superb trophies and exactly what every hunter should strive for. The kudu, bushbuck & impala were also "world class"! Well done! jorge USN (ret) DRSS Verney-Carron 450NE Cogswell & Harrison 375 Fl NE Sabatti Big Five 375 FL Magnum NE DSC Life Member NRA Life Member | |||
