I hunted with Pieters in the Omay South in July of 2012. It was a seven day hunt for buffalo and plains game, if I had the opportunity. I hunted seven days leaving camp pre dawn and returning after dark.
In seven days I shot at a 300 yard running baboon. Saw buffalo every day but no shot opportunities (could have shot a cow buffalo)and saw very little plains game, certainly nothing that one would take a shot at.
I am a runner and have been for over 30 years, so my ability to keep up was not an issue.
This was my first safari ( have been on two highly successful safaris since) so maybe I was expecting too much in thinking I would get a shot at something. I had the "trophy fee" money escrowed back in the USA, so that was not an issue.
Yes, I have heard "That's why they call it hunting."
