My wife and I have just returned from Africa. We had a most enjoyable experience with Murray Crous and his lovely wife Petra. They did everything possible to make our hunt successful and rewarding. I was only looking for a few specific animals not taken on previous trips. Murray is an energetic, capable, PH that has access to prime hunting concessions. We took older mature males with all species.

Overall, Murray and Petra provided a wonderful and rewarding experience; just as we anticipated. After this hunt we headed to Mozambique with Mark Haldane's Zambeze Delta Safaris. This proved to be another great hunt.

Hopefully Murray will post some picturs.

Best of Hunting,

Mark,

What an eclectic mix of trophies. I would love to see the pics. Send them to me if you like to post.

Thanks Jack! Hope you are well.

Congrats on a great hunt. That Springbok has some serious mass!

Outstanding! And to do it with a handgun......

Why did you not take the 60" Kudu Bull? Congrats on the trophies!

Congratulations on a nice array of trophies. Loved the photos!

Best regards, D. Nelson

Superb photos and another nod to the mass of the springbok's horns!

Regards, Tim

Thank you for the kind words.
Charl; we didn't take the kudu as we were game viewing/taking photos in a National Park. I thought the kudu was pretty nice.

Which reserve was this in? The first Kudu bull is over 60" long and a superb specimen! Looking forward to your Moz. report.

Charl; I believe it was Mopala National Park. I don't know if I spelled it correctly. About an hour or so away from Kimberley.

The Moz hunt was definately a great hunt; like our SA hunt.

Thanks,
Mark Hampton

Nice trophies! Well done Mark!

Congratulations!! Thumbs up on using a hand cannon!!!

Congrat's on a great hunt.
We (My Wife and I) hunted with Murray in 2009 and he totally fulfilled our requests. We got 7 animals (our total request) and had a great time with him and Petra.
I would definately recommend Murray as a host and PH.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Tracker49, I agree 100%, would not hesitate going back with Murray and Petra for any SA game.

Cheers,
Mark Hampton

Great pictures

Well done considering your rifle was missing the stock!

Did not know there were Barbary sheep in that part of the world. Congrats.

Great trophies. Great photos.

Well done Mark. Looking forward to your report on Mozambique as well!
