Fri 13th – Black Friday, unlucky for some, maybe safer to stay in bed. Fortunately I’m not superstitious nor did it seem anyone else was either so 4.30 am had us on the road again. Sable Rd actually, I think Simon had seen one there once to give it the name. I said to Simon that we should maybe...
Simon every 3 yrs (about) we let them win one just so they don't get too discouraged - bit like they do to us in the rugby league. Was a dead rubber as we already won the Bledisloe 2-1!!
Mon 9th – Getting damned serious now, up at 3.30am ( I think punishment for another All Black drubbing of the Boks by 25 - 24) and away at 4 am so we could get to Sable Rd at daylight around 4.50. A herd of about 40 Sable were encountered immediately but unfortunately Christiaans pathetic...
If you’re just catching up with my report hunting with Simon Leach of Traditional Moz Safaris then probably pay to read the prelude hunt done in Zambia last year which led me to be in Mozambique this year. (See MOZAMBIQUE: Heading To Mozambique with Simon Leach From Traditional Mozambique...
Sun 23rd – Checked the Sable area for tracks and found the herd with unbelievably my bull back with them. Missed out on a shot but couldn’t believe I had another chance at him. We left them for a couple hours to settle down and then stalked after them again. Another encounter with the herd and...
Tues 18th – A quiet morning seeing a couple Bushbuck and Hippos in the river by camp. Crocs too were not an uncommon sight in the river. The avo was a hunt for Sable which had been seen drinking water near the game scouts huts up the front of property. We got in on a herd in some thick cover and...
It wouldn’t be right if I didn’t start this report about my latest hunt in Mozambique with Simon Leach of Traditional Moz Safaris by taking a look back at how I came to be there in the first place.
Twelve months ago I set out for Zambia to hunt with Adam Buske – PH for Pete Swanepols’ Safari...
Just got home Simon. Approx 50 hrs travel since we left camp and maybe 5 hrs sleep tops. Qantas cancelled our flight out of Sydney yesterday so had to o/nite there and get an Air NZ flight this morn. - Shit happens aye. Gonna try catch some sleep now
Ok folks this is about to get real. Just about got all my gear packed and be on the road to Auckland (3 hr drive) where I'll o/night and be on plane to Joberg via Sydney in morn. (17 hrs flying time in the cheap seats!!) Do you have a chiro in camp Simon?
Have hunted all NZ game several times over with trophy class of all species. Red, Sika, Fallow, Whitetail, Rusa, Sambar, Wapiti, Thar, Chamois, Pig. Have made a living from hunting and trapping (possums) all my life so about 45 years experience. Starting to get the hang of it now. I will use a...
Sable is first priority and anything else that's a bit slow to get out of my way. Shot a Buff in Zambia last year and a Leopard in Namibia a few years back. I decided to go with Simon after seeing his posts on here plus have read your account Brickburn of your trip with him. 5 more sleeps
Greetings Dr Ray. I was admonished after my very first post on here so guess I have to be careful what I say re offering hunting opportunity. Might have to look at becoming a sponsor maybe
Hi Shootist43 Was in Zambia last year and have just booked a hunt with Traditional Moz Safaris who I found on this site. Ive been on a few world hunts but extensive NZ hunting experience. Yes I'm sure I know some of the NZ members on here. Cheers
