ZIMBABWE: 10 Day Non-Trophy Buffalo Hunt

If you are looking for buffalo I highly recommend getting in touch with Dave Langerman, an absolute gentleman and superb PH. Dave and his team worked extremely hard, Dave's trackers are also outstanding. Tracking that second bull on day 5 for hours through very very thick bush was very impressive. I also need to mention the apprentice PH that was with us, young Jodie was an absolute pleasure to hunt with and worked just as hard as anyone else I have seen in the field, even at a young age she demonstrated all the the attributes you want to see in a PH. Jodie is definitely going to be a superstar and a fantastic PH in her own right in the future.

I also can't say enough good things about the camp staff and the BVC in general, the camps are amazing, the food was unbelievably good. There is a huge amount of game, we saw our target species everyday even though it's early season and the bush is very thick, absolutely amazing hunting.
@Aussie_Hunter - those bulls ALL look like TROPHIES to Me….I would be very pleased with any of them on any hunt ! Congratulations
 
Wow, beautiful old bulls. Question, why is this a non-trophy hunt? Are you not exporting the mounts?
 
Wow, what a hunt. Congratulations on an amazing buffalo hunt.
 
Congrats and thanks for sharing!

These buffalo are exportable
 
Well done, some nice bulls!
 
Congrats! How are the elephants in BVC? I know they are not hunted at present.
 
Congratulations on your fantastic hunt, @Aussie_Hunter.

As I was reading your hunt report, it felt like watching one of those informercials. "Not one, not two...wait there is more!!" I certainly didn't expect 3 buffaloes in the books. Well done Aussie_Hunter.
 
They are exportable and I am exporting them, it's just the terminology used.

Thank you for your reply. Is the term "non-trophy" used due not meeting a certain criteria, like size, etc, et? I would have been extremely happy with any of them, and in my book, they are trophies. My apologies not trying to be difficult or anything like that, just asking to learn for future considerations. Congratulations again!

Correct, it's due to horn size. 38" and up is considered a trophy bull.
Thank you and I agree, I am extremely happy with all 3 bulls.
 
That's great, since I don't measure any animals I take. I judge the trophy by the adventure behind it. I may reach out to you one of these days and ask you some questions. Thank you for your reply.

Not a problem, feel free to reach out anytime. I have plenty more photos, including photos of the camp etc.
 
Congratulations ! That's a great report and for a first African trip, I'm sure you will keep an unforgetable memory.
I really like your .500 Jeffery ! Maybe one day, I will buy an extra barrel for my R8 in this might caliber in addition to my actual .458 Lott.
As I don't keep any trophy, I have to look closely such opportunity to hunt non-trophy buffalo for a near future.

Hello! I saw your post from last year about a missing crate from your hunt in Moz. I am curious how that all turned out? We (my fiancé and I) also hunted in Moz in 2024 and the trophies are being shipped with Hunters Services Limitada. We have some concerns on whether we will get the trophies home or not. May I ask who you hunted with?
