Here is a sample of some trophy pics from my hunt. I will compile a report after thanksgiving. Needless to say it was an awesome hunt with Mark Haldane. Hunt semi-sponsored by McMillan rifles, and Craig Boddington was with us after the elusive Nyala. Thanks to Ben for all the hard work tracking forest Buffs! Thanks to Poen for helping the little lady get a .404 round into her first game animal, a nice Buff, which I was happy to finish off with my .416

Great people, great camp, great location. Herds were unbelievable.

If someone can tell me how to post a PDF I have a hunt report I can post as well.

The finished product, from Coutada 10!!!

Nice. You are the one that convinced me I need one. Man that was a tough shot 70 yards through jungle!

Finally I have solved the picture posting delimma, so after my deer hunt I can compile a decent trip report. I have a PDF file of a report from the outfitter, Kelly McMillan and Craig Boddington if I can figure out how to attach.....

Here is the trip report from Gordie White the trip consultant. Good guy

Isn't it neat to see their white tails going back and forth when they're alerted....so fast it looks like a white blur.

Nice pics! Looks like a really big suni and nyala.

Was pic with Craig on the deck of the Beira airport?

When did they start crossbreeding Nyala with Kudu?

that's why i used a shot gun with #4 shot in that damn jungle. worked great at the 25 yards i shot from! that sand road there was just loaded with suni.

Yeah that is Boddington and me on the deck at Biera, great guy for sure.

Those suni and duikers were running around like crazy! The place was full of them.....on hyper alert with the tails going 100 mph. Trying to shoot a decent one was tough. Mine was 4 1/2" and the Nyala is tad over 30". I am very pleased with them...

Nyala, bushbuck and reedbuck -- wow!

Really enjoyed your post and pics Gunslinger. I was there in September hunting with Poen and had a fantastic safari.

Ditto: I was in Coutada 11 in 2010 with Craigh Hammon as my PH. Great everything!!!!

Congratulations on nice trophies!

Best regards, D. Nelson

Did any of you catch on the last page of the report that Boddington saw 35 Nyala bulls in one day?

They have a secret pan infested with Nyala. If you want one this is the place to go

Nice trophies GS, well done! That looks like a beast of a reedbuck. And tell the little lady "great shooting"!

Thanks I will, It really changed her life for sure. She wants to go back so thats agood thing!

I am proud of the reedbuck didn't remember to tape it but everyone seemed to like it. Was glassing a 26" or so waterbuck and this guy showed up. After taking a second buff, I had to start counting pennies.....

Good article in this months (Sept/Oct) Sports Afield by Boddington on your hunt titled "Ten Days in Mozambique"

Just finished it!

There are some SERIOUS Nyala in that group photo!! WOW!!

That's one heck of a hunt!

A pile of some superb trophies there. Awesome Buffalo. Very well done indeed.
