AH legend
Friends,
I‘m always dreaming from Africa like you and I can‘t help doing it.
To stay in a camp, where at night you hear the lions roar and elephants are making barricades on your forest ways.
This is the aera I'm dreaming from.
I was in June this year at Save River, Zimbabwe,on the border to Mozambik and had a fabulous time.
Buffalos over buffalos and the old bulls, nevertheless not easy to get,like over all in Africa .
Exeptional some happy moments.
I’ve let go some strong bulls,because I did not want to bring myself in the first days arround the stalk with her 1.000 adventures (the last sentence is a google translation. Puhh, I would never come at these wording.Hope it's right,it's necessary to see my English sporty,it is and remains a foreign language ).
This is for myself more important than the shot.
And this was the first property that I felt, I can choose between several buffalos in the wilderness.
But hunting has also to do with „ to get“ and so I wished to bring it to an end at day 6 (from 7).
Because my lick strand of the stalks and buff seeings seemd to tear.
At home we say „arrogance comes befor him fall“.
And so it was-almost.
My double rifle I let at home and took my Brünner .375 with a good Swarowski scope and was very happy with this combiantion again.
Destination was that year Harare and there I ve been picked up from my wellknown (black ) PH and friend and we had to do a long ride by car going south at the border to Mozambik.
The formalities proceeded everybody all without problems.
But this time I had to check out and in in Joburg.
The girls from SAA in Munic noticed the weapon embargo and so I must go out in RSA and it was not allowed for me to stay in the transit aera.
I prefer everybody who lands with a gun in Joburg, to take a guide (they are waiting for us
at the bulky luggage store) for 50.- $ (much to much my friends shouted me) and bring you about the hurdles of the gun- permit in South Africa.
The customs was very friendly ,but it needs time and when your connecting flight sits in your neck, think of me,you begin always to perspire.
Administration is much more popular there, than at home .
Here, the „father of all Daggaboys“ .
I get him with my .375H+H (Hornady solid bullet,use it beneth DGX ( Caustin !! ).
No 40 meters after the shot ,he droped in the sand of the thurstlands of Zimbabwe.
Rest of the story is following
