Just want to share a short story of my last africa trip in august, in Zim. I was after an elefant bull and finally got him on second last day. Not a big tusker, but was a personal fight to get him
About the bushpig: I knew that they are tough, scary and like ghosts, hard to hunt.
One day we went out of camp we bumped into a small herd of 3 pigs, nearly daytime, no problem to see them clearly. I missed on one and kicked my a... :banghead:
BUT, it only took 15 minutes when we saw the next pigs, this time 5 of them in high gras, no chance to get a shot.
And now BUT, it again took 30 more minutes when we met the next 2 pigs, this time I was fast enough and shot the bigger one, old old male with broken tusks, but beautiful (if you can say that to bushpigs). Fully daylight!!!
Btw, I hunted with Terry Fenn at the South Shangani Ranch and it was a blast to stay and hunt with him for the second time!!
