Hey, it's your very rude, bottom-feeder comment buddy.
Do not judge a place in Zim based upon what you saw in the area before. My father hunted Binga, just W of where you are looking, in 2002. He got a leopard, buffalo, and elephant. It was a great hunt.
We went back there in 2008 and my God did it change. The poaching was rampant. We were only after buffalo and what little plains game we saw. The other guys in camp were some Spaniards after elephant. They were tracking a bull and machine gun fire opened-up on the herd they were tracking. They left immediately, as they felt it was too dangerous hunting there. We also heard machine gun fire and found the young bull elephant they poached the next day.
We left without buffalo. We shot a cow in a snare and found another cow who had just died in a drag-log snare. We pulled snares every day.
If you bumped buffalo, they went for hours. You never found them again.
It was the worst hunt I've ever been on. It went from heaven to hell in 6 years.
Be careful with "I've been there before" and Zimbabwe.
Thanks for the advice. The outfitter told me saw a buff that would go 46-48 inches at the close of this season, but he was out of tags.
The buff I killed back in 2004 had a scar around his neck from a poachers snare.
This guy hunts communal lands so it is quite possible the buff have been pretty much shot out.
Happy New Year Rude Comment Guy and again thanks for the advice.
PS I didn't mean you were a rude person, just that you made a rude comment.
