SOUTH AFRICA: Hippopotamus Hunt With Pawprint Safaris 2017

Yikes!!

My thoughts exactly. They didn't want to kill him because he catches the reed rats. No telling how many like him were in those reeds.

And it sure was nice to visit an old friend every night!

I'm sure it was, that must have brought back fond memories and started many stories at night by the fire!

Well at least you shot something. Will it be joining the others in the trophy room?

Charlie, when I connected my PC, I was expecting to see your pic with a huge river horse but

Well, it will have to be next year. Anyhow, you had a great experience

I was just wondering why you didn't have a new python belt or hat band, but I get it now. Sorry about the hippo, but you can always keep trying. I have always said, Africa hunting isn't over until you head to the airport.

Glad you had a exciting hunt and there's always next time. Was the bull you were trying for the only big bull you saw in the area?

 

[edward]

Sure would be nice to go in and fave him with a slightly used double!!

hint,hint!

 

[CAustin]

hint,hint!

I see you got it!

 

[lwaters]

Great report Sir. I know you'll get him next time.

Charlie, give the tracker a radio and make him run, looks like a plan.

 

[jeff]

That excitement of having the bull so close and pissed off early in your hunt made the whole hunt worthwhile !!!

@jeff, you spot on with your comment, have an animal that can kill you, charging you down is priceless. You don't forget that feeling in a rush.

Yep I can even laugh about it now....but it wasn't funny at the time!

Charlie thank you for a great time always an honour to have you in camp!

I really like the story and how you kept us going little by little. Sounds like a hell of an adventure and memories to be made. Congrats on it.
