Thank you sir, that is a grand set of pictures! Where were the cape buffalo hunted?

I hope this day finds you and yours well.

Great pictures! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you sir. The first bull with the mature gentleman as the hunter, was hunted in the Eastern Cape. He was completely done. Not sure he would have made the end of the week, let alone the winter. The first time ever that I have seen a Buff go down immediately at the first shot.( Frontal chest shot) The old boy just could not take the punch, "even" from a .375
The two Buffs after that was a 2 on 1 hunt, which was conducted in the Limpopo province in the Klaserie area next to KNP.

With an Nyala like that ready for the salt, I'm sure I could smile better than that!

Nice trophy. Love the suppressor. Saves the ears.

Great Pictures. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Thanks for the pictures!

Not to much to smile about when you live in Russia...

Just kidding, but in all seriousness, although I guided this hunter through a translator, as he could not speak a word of English, he's one of the nicest guys I've had the pleasure of guiding. (Well, either that, or the translator was the nicest guy.....)
BTW, the Sable fourth photo from the top, belongs to the same hunter.

Awesome trophies. I don't even want to know the trophy fee on the sable, but I suppose it's a lot less than 21 days in Zambia. That guy will have plenty to talk about back in Russia. Bet Putin doesn't have an Nyala!

Great pics, thanks for sharing. I really liked some of those Bushbuck.

Great pics! I'm also a fan of the Bushbucks, and the Hyena looks like fun as well!

Congrats on a good 2014!

Eric

Looks like oyu had a great year, Marius!!!
can't wait to add more photos and trophies on the wall.

Thank you for the kind words gents.




Hey Eric,
The hyena hunts are right up there with some of my most memorable hunts of all time. It's a very rewarding hunt that culminates from the work put in beforehand. Like Hannibal use to say, " I love it when a plan comes together."

Your pretty cruel I'm still have to wait 10 months to come and hunt with you. nice pictures. Bruce

September will be here in no time Bruce!

Bruce, first time? enjoy the wait and planning/preparation.
If I can offer any advice, do not hesitate to call, I'll PM you my number.

Advice # 1: Walk around the bush, not through it.

Is that the African equivalent of 'Do not eat the yellow snow?'

walk thru the bush today here, you get snow down your back Took the 375 H&H after the dangerous whitetails today. I bet I won't wear wool in SA

Close enough
In Africa, even the thorns have thorns on them.

#1 Watch where Marius steps then step there also, the thorns are nasty. Thorns have thorns, the water has thorns and the air has thorns!! Take a pair of tweezers and some anti-septic, leather gloves (I used mechanics gloves)
Wool? Yup July in SA is winter time, I had beautiful weather but I did wear a wool sweater under my jacket some mornings. Don't forget the gloves and watch cap also. The fleece ones at cabelas or bass pro are PERFECT, I left mine with Lloyd for riding in the back of the truck.

Also, lest I forget, bedroom slippers!! Yup the tile floor in the chalet is cold on bare feet in the mornings,
I took long johns but only wore them the night I was so sick (stomach bug - 24 hour and good as new)

Tip 3: Don't wear shorts. Shorts are for PH's. PH's are hard men. Some say they will wrestle a Lion with their bare hands... (Trying to control my laughing while typing)

Doug, you make me laugh. Looking forward to seeing you in Jan at the South East Outdoor Expo in NC my friend!
