dakota45056Lion and Buffalo Hunt: Charlton McCallum Safaris
Congratulations Mike on a well deserved lion. Last year Buzz and you hunted hard, but just couldn't connect. You left just before I came in to camp.
You hit him well, was it your double or bolt gun??
Can't wait to read the story on the great trophy!

bwanamrmWell done buddy!
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

MANDLAZIMGood stuff Mike & Buzz, well done.
The "triple Bushpig" in the Valley, is probably as difficult to achieve as a nice Lion!!!

No, I do as well! Taking 3 on a hunt is akin to winning the lottery. I had 3 in my sights in Malapati this year, including a monster, but Nixon wouldn't let me shoot, as we were closing in on a Buff. Looking back, I think I'd rather have shot the Bushpig.
Awesome hunt Mike!

BiebsTodd, Mike's was a very successful hunt. Know why? How many barrels does his rifle have? (Get out your calcutator) :-)
14 November 2013, 03:12
MJinesTalk about winning the lottery, just a little more color on the hunt. The three bushpigs and the lion were all shot on the same day before noon.

Likewise P-A, and a big congrats to you and Emma on your ele bull. Hard earned for sure. How you and Emma survived the heat being from Sweden is a credit to your persistence. Good luck on moose season!

DK1Hi Mike,
Great stuff. Got your lion! I love your buff, what a ripper! I am going to clarify " a buff like one of Mike's" in my next CMS contract!
Hard to see in the photo's, however, iS that a muzzle break I see on the end of your barrel? If it is, I will ask Mr Fester Barnard to come and give you a nice big cuddle in the middle of the night!
Cheers
Dan
