Professional Hunter : Andrew Baldry
September 9th - 21st 2017
Rifles : 330 Dakota 76 , Jarrett PH 416RM

After my successful Lion safari with Andrew in Nyakolwe (Luangwa) last year I returned to hunt Andrews Royal Kafue concession.

I had a great safari here in 2012 taking a magnificent Sable, Southern Roan , Lichtenstein Hartebeest and Buffalo and was very much looking forward to returning once again.

This time I had my friend and long time hunting mate Peter Mayall (also AR member) with me. I had convinced Peter to join me as he was keen to hunt Sable an Roan.

Last year around the campfire celebrating our Lion , Andrew had asked me what I wanted to hunt next and I quickly replied Leopard as I have never hunted Leopard before.

Darin Nelson had booked to hunt Lion with Andrew at Royal (already reported) and we planned that Peter and I arrived a couple of days early so we could spend time with Darin in camp. We had a fantastic few days and were very privileged to share Darin's birthday with her.

Peter and I had a superb safari and once again Andrew demonstrated that he is one of Africa's premier PH's whose community involvement, conservation and game management serves as a model that delivers proven benefits and results.

Everything died to one shot with no tracking required.
I will let the pictures do the talking ...but from the bottom of my heart thank Mr Baldry for helping me (and Peter) fulfil our dreams.......Looking forward to next year mate.

Steve;

I see you and Peter carried on quite well after I left!!

Congratulations on a huge leopard and Peter's sable is fantastic. The other trophies are very impressive as well.

Thanks for sharing my birthday safari! I didn't think Andrew would survive the night you arrived in camp!

Now you need to go back ASAP and get that lion I left behind!

Hugs, Darin

Great stuff yet again.....what a brute of a cat. The Buffalo looked great and that Sable looked like another Kafue monster.

Fantastic Steve! I gotta get there........

.

Fantastic safari.

Congrats to all!!

Impressive cat and all-around good trophy bag. Well done.

Well Done

That Baldry guy puts on a good show!

Now hopefully.....we will see one more report this year from Andrew....and that incredible Lion will be laid out and Andrew drinks no a Scotch and smoking a Cigar with a huge smile on his face!!!

Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

That leopard looks like 7ft 6 inches in the old measurement.

Awesome trophies especially the Leopard. Boy, Andrew spared no expense on his signage! Top shelf PH's should have top shelf signage!

Congrats on a great hunt! Beast leopard and sable and love the "hair style" on the bush pig- he looks like a punk! Talk about punks how did you end up with such a shabby hunting partner like Pete!!!! Jokes aside Pete is great and if I hunted Aussie it would be with him!! Well done and great pics!

Great trophies. I really need to get to Zambia!!

I can tell a Dom Perignon grade Leopard when I see one.

Fantastic Sable and that cat was OMG also, what a great hunt. Thanks for posting your report and pictures.

Thanks Buzz. Pete and I have been mates for over 20 years and done lots of hunting together.
He is now very glad I convinced him to come with me.
You need to come to Australia soon and I will join you and make the drinks!

Great Safari in a very special place!

Great trophies and photos. Congratulations.

Very nice!

Wonderful Trophies!!!

Excellent report. 'Very glad you got your leopard, but that Sable...oh, Mama.

Thanks for the report but the photos were to big for my monitor. The second set looked great though.

Great report! I don't know why, but the Jarret Rifle (at least I think that's it) with the spacer to add LOP, really speaks to me.

Steve: Were you able to get all that leopard bloodstain out of your shirt ?

Well I did not....but the laundry boys did!

Fantastic

Great hunt for all of you. Beautiful leopard and that sable was awesome as well. Guess I'm going to have to book another hunt in Zambia soon.

Congratulations.

Don

Congrats Steve and to all involved. some proper trophies but more importantly looks like you had lots of fun. Thanx for sharing.

A beautiful leopard and that Sable is priceless.

Excellent trophies.

But that sable....wow!
