Hi Everyone,

I have the following hunts available at reduced prices.

Area- Gache-Gache, This Concession is situated on the North Eastern basin of Lake kariba. Because of an increase in quota we would like to offer these hunts at these low prices. The area has huge Crocodiles and you have an opportunity to hunt Hippos on Land. I have asked my fiend Michael Mccourry(Michael 458)from South Carolina USA to post photos of the area and animals taken recently in the area. I still don't know how to do it myself so please have a look out for the photos that Michael will post. You can also look at some photos and references that was posted in a previous post.

HEH HEH.......................... So to Speak! LOL.....

Will get with you on a definite plan or get with me about what days work for you. Want to do some shooting on the new area in South Africa for sure..... Then on to visit with Corris and you at Gache-Gache. Get some buffalo on my quota!!!!!!

I will post some photos for you shortly of the area.

By the way, anyone else that is looking, this is a great place for buffalo, Hippo on the ground, and some really big crocodiles!!!!!!! And there are LOTS of them............. This is the best place I have ever seen for hippo and crocodile, and I have hunted a few places in my days! Buffalo are great as always, and I have some photos of the king daddy buffalo, he is still there somewhere..???

Do beware, these buffalo and elephant do want to eat you too. As one each wanted to eat me last time I was there in 2011!!!!!!!

You will love hunting with Corris and Andrew here, in 2011 I had my darling wife as normal, but it was our daughters first really big game safari, she was 8 at the time, and she really had a great time!

Will get some photos up a bit later of the area....

Hi Bill

That is a friend of mine in Arizona, all he has right now is a 45/70, Marlin Guide. He wanted a buffalo with it. I loaded some 400 gr BBW#13 Solids for him at 1875 fps, and they actually did a really good job. One shot, about 25 yds, stone cold, no bullet recovery, exited of course..... They were hunting with Andrew in November.

Michael

Out of a 45/70? impressive indeed,thanks for the info.

Bill, Yep, out of a 45/70, 18 inch Guide Gun.... I have been working with some other bullets
as well that turn the ole 45/70 into a new and different animal!

But for this particular situation, animal/hunter, I felt best with that 400 BBW#13 Solid to get the job done.

I hunted with Rod Ferreira and his son Corris Ferreira in september 2001.
One of the best hunts in all my life , for sure the funniest as Corris is really a spectacular guy and a hell of a Ph.
I hunted there my first elefant and at this precise moment i am looking to those nice tusks here in my living room.
Corris is resposible for my elephant addiction .
And i know a lot of Portuguese hunters that have a lot of respect to Corris.
You cannot go wrong and you will have a tremendous hunt 100%.
My most warmest regards to Corris and good luck.

I will be hunting with Andrew this coming June for Mgt. Ele, buff, hippo, croc, bream and ducks. I was relieved to find out the local council is honoring the prices on contract despite Zim Parks suddenly raising trophy fees. This a good deal at a great price. It isn't ever going to get any cheaper.

I can attest to all of the above. My daughter and I stayed a while at Gache-Gache Lodge/Chapungu fishing and site seeing for a short while after we had finished hunting in Charara. I swear I saw Crocs over 15' and Hippo were everywhere. You had to be very careful walking from the Boma to your Chalet in the evening and the dang Hippo kept you up at night bumping around outside your door.
In addition, we saw a plenty of elephants, a few walked thru the camp at night, and I would have to agree that they seemed rather pissy for some reason. I would say most of the ele we saw were groups of Bulls, one of which was a huge bodied tuskless which is understand is kinda rare for a bull. We saw several nice buffs and waterbucks and heard but did not get close enough to see a couple lions scuffling with a buffalo in the thick. Warren tried to get close enough to see and get pictures in the thick Jess but I had my daughter with us and did not want to expose her to that kind of danger so I made him back off. We were within 75' as it was, and on the way back to the Rover ran smack into a another big buff and had to back off real quick. Pretty exciting place. I would like to go back and hunt ele and Waterbuck there and maybe whack a Hippo on land, we sure ran into a few

All, I am set up to arrive at Gache Gache on July 14th... So that takes that slot of time out. Buffalo, hippo, crocodile and possible elephant........

I understand there have been several inquires, so if you are serious, better get going on it....

Now I have to figure out which rifles and then the bullets????

So much fun.............

Michael

Just want to bring it under your attention that the 10 day Buffalo, Hippo and Crocodile hunt can be split between 2 hunters. The price will stay the same @$19 000 and the clients can split the hunt the way they would like to. This means that the $19000 will include the daily fees for 2 Hunters. One person can hunt the buffalo and the other the Hippo and Croc.

For those who would like to get up close and personal with a Hippo on land I would like to offer a 5 day hippo hunt in the Gache Gache hunting concession. This is one of the few areas where you have the opportunity to hunt them outside the water.

$7000.00

Included in the price- Daily fee for 1 hunter and Trophy fee
- Government levy

Price does not include transport to hunting area

Andrew, we must not tell them about the hippo we shot there, hippo was out of the water, but when we shot, WE WERE IN THE WATER.... Hippo on the Ground!!!!!!!!!!!'

So how do we figure that, The Hippo was shot in the water, but I was the one in the water, not the hippo?




Michael

Corris and Andrew are Top Notch Guys......
Lots of Game and Good Fun All Around.....

Paul

We just had a cancelation on a 10 day Elephant hunt. Date available for this hunt is from the 27th of July till the 10th of August. Daily fees $850 per day Trophy fee $11500

Good question Scott, kind of hard to see the mass and shape, perhaps a lechwe, or a waterbuck with a twist which would make more sense given the area?

That is a waterbuck SBT and to the left of that is an Eland bull and to his left is a deformed Eland Cow.
