This beautiful old Dagga boy was taken 2 days ago in the APNR.
My hunter , Horst , a German gentleman , had hunted many buffalo before , but insisted he wanted a very old , worn down Buffalo with lots of " you owe me money " Character.
After tracking and looking over a number of Bulls we found this old warrior lying up under a palm tree in a dry river bed. The setting was beautiful , with us standing up on the ridge spotting him , and below us the long winding dry river dotted with green vegetation , rocks and pools of water. The old Dagga boy obviously also approved of the place.
a Lengthy stalk put us within 40 yards of the Bull when suddenly he sensed we were there , jumped up and started running up the embankment. A deep Buffalo call came from Calvin , my tracker , and the Bull stopped in his tracks and turned side on , giving us the look. Just enough time for me to get the shooting sticks into new position and for Horst to take his shot. He did good, he had his Bull and realized a life time dream.
This is where he was hiding in. We spotted him from the top of the ridge.
Who knows how many battles this old Warrior had fought in his life , with other Bulls and Lions alike.
I was reminded again of how privileged we are to still be able to hunt Buffalo in a beautiful and natural big 5 areas like this.
