Congrats Charlie! When he is all mounted up at home you can invite me over for a single malt scotch. That way you retell the hunt story again.

Charlie, a blind without hot and cold running blonds, is that what you call roughing it?? LOL

BTW once you get home drag out a laptop and fill us in on all of the details. Can't wait!!!

Charlie congratulations!!!!Your patience paid on a huge tom. Very happy for you. We talked to our outfitter yesterday to line up a couple tourist things to do after our upcoming hunt. We head to Namibia in 6 weeks. When you get over jet lag I would like to give you a call.

Can not have bagged this cat without a great outfitter an PH in Pieter Delport.

I just did a simple plains game hunt with Pieter, nothing like a leopard or other dangerous game hunt.

He was nothing but professional, and worked his butt off to get me the best trophies he could find. There was no talk about pricing for bigger or smaller animals. Everything was done as we agreed before the hunt. I was treated better than I had been treated anywhere.His staff was great, unfortunately shortly after I left his cook Tony Williams passed away. Tony was so nice to chat with.

Some extra bird hunting during the mid day break, a fishing trip to the skeleton coast, visiting the sand dunes and so much more that I hadn't planned on. From meeting other family members including his parents, brothers , wife and great kids, cousin. Everyone made me feel special.

One person caught me off guard when they said I speak the best English of any Hungarian hunter Pieter has had. Told them I was from Canada and only speak English, we all had a good laugh.

So happy your hunt was a success!


Love reading these stories as it takes me back there. I think everyone who has been to Africa has a longing to return.

Look at the fat on this guy! It is probably why he didn’t leave a blood trail as the fat sealed up around the entry wound!

Bullet recovery was in the right front shoulder just under the neck. Did I say that I am now a fan of the 9.3 x 62?
