ZIMBABWE: Hunting Elephant Near Hwange With Mbalabala Safaris

My name is Medicine. I’m a 2005 Winchester Model 70 Safari Express in .416 Remington Magnum and I’m a $1450.00 certified damn elephant killing machine. Now I know what you’re thinking - two things actually: you’re thinking 1) you’re not actually a rifle; you’re a person and 2) you can’t be an...

The only problem with all these DG pictures is that I'm not in them. Congrats to everyone on their 2021 DG hunts.

Ditto.

Hunted with Jacques Spammer of JKO Safaris in the Kalahari in July and took a great old Buffalo ( took the buff on day seven of a six day hunt! ) and a 46“ sable.I then flew to Zimbabwe to hunt leopard with Wayne Van Den Bergh of Nyamazana Safaris and took this great leopard after spending 91 hours in a leopard blind and taking him with one night to spare! Hunt hard and never give up

Two buffalo taken with Stanley Pieterse in Limpopo last May. .375 H&H, 350 grain Woodleigh Weldcore HD, Blaser R8 Pro.

That worn down buff is magnificent.

Congratulations to all our AH members for a fantastic season so far! Many leopards, buffalo and elephants taken, along with one rhino I noticed, but curiously not many lions… is there any particular reason to this?

I'm cheating a little here. Not my personal lion.
I was fortunate enough to tag along as an appie with one of zambia's top phs' and his client for a few days and was fortunate enough to be a part of their successful hunt
416Rigby, norma 450gr african ph ammo. performed perfectly.
A really nice old lion from the Luangwa Valley.

That is a mind-blowing lion!!!

That is a mind-blowing lion!!!

He truly is a beast.

 

[RockSlinger404]

I was very fortunate to be able to hunt two of the big five this year during the week of 28 Aug - 3 Sep.

Both were shot with my 404 Jeff using 400gr Swift A-Frames at around 2180fps using VV N560.

The lion was hunted in North West, virtually on the Botswana border. It was a frontal shot from about 45m, the bullet performed flawlessly and he dropped on the spot. Bullet was found next to the spine on the inside.

The buffalo was hunted on a property bordering the Kruger. After a nice stalk and a long time on the sticks, the bul noticed us (probably wind) and turned to face us. Again a frontal shot at about 30m and bul managed 50m before dropping. The A-Frame also performed flawlessly and was found in the heart.

Good going 404 rock slinger.

Good looking 404 Jeff there.

 

[Spear Safaris]

Id like to post just these two Leopards taken this year in Tanzania, there are many Buffalo as well, but these cat hunts, for me stood out.

Just been home a week, reports to follow later. 21 day and 22 specie SA safari 1-21 Aug 21. Sorry for crappy pic its only one I have of CB Lion from Kalahari, until photographers (sisters on hunt) finishes lockdown and can get the 6000 pics downloaded and sent.

Very exciting tracking hunt, until we found up a large tree, all everyone stated and more. Lion Cat 1, WAY bigger cat and better mane than I ever expected. Rem 700, 375 H&H, 260gr accubonds. If any of you are even remotely thinking of doing, all I can say is GO ASAP. Lifelong memories created this summer.

Third picture from top looks like a toad. Very nice cat. What did he weigh?

Congratulations sir. A 21 day hunt must have been amazing.

Congratulations sir. A 21 day hunt must have been amazing.

Hunt was exciting, managed a 12+ croc, lots of "glamor" PG and all but 2 of the night stuff, honey badger and small spotted genet eluded me. We did see them, I missed shot at HB, 100+ yds, dark, wrong side of truck, light in eyes, movement on truck, any could be my excuse or as stated by observers I just got too dam excited. On genet I was told to wait for next property to shoot small spotted as there were "lots, tons" but after 5 nights we never seen one. Shame as I had in sights at 50 yds. Same for porcupine.

I will do a hunt report later. All who even dream of the CB lion should book now, there are deals on here that seam awesome. Don't wait.

I wasn't allowed to go to Africa this year as planned unfortunately, but I managed a great hunt on our Aussie buffalo instead. We hunted in very remote central Arnhemland with Big Country Safaris and had a fantastic time. Highly recommended for a true stalking experience on foot, from a tented camp in true wilderness.

I used my Mk. X 458WM and 480gn Woodleigh RN. First shot on this old sweeper bull was right on dark, then we had an exciting pursuit down to the creek where he died right in the water after absorbing a further two shots. Luckily there were only freshwater crocodiles present, made for an interesting caping job under headtorch!

cheers
