PH Comment

This was a hunt that I had really been looking forward to for ages and I was not disappointed at all. We saw lots and lots of Buffalo-good old dagga boys. We were spoilt for choice and passed up bull at twice a day. On the 6th morning we tracked a big dagga boy and caught him after 2 hours. Chuck whacked him quartering on – he only ran 100m and was standing there waiting for us. Chuck shot him 4 more times. We also had a very special day in the Gonarezhou park. Klipspringer, zebra and impala were taken all with one shot

 
Client Comment

Wonderful hunt. Myles was an energetic and fantastic PH, and helped me understand the country and the antics of the game. His crew is outstanding, and made this experience worthwhile. This is a great, professional outfit, and a pleasure to hunt with. The lodge at Hammond was very comfortable, and services competent and unobtrusive. All in all, an outstanding experience for my third hunt in Africa.

24 years ago as a learner hunter I hunted with Dave. 24 years later with both of us fatter, greyer and harder of hearing, I had the pleasure of guiding Dave on to a very nice dugga boy. We tracked and looked at lots of buffalo but we wanted an old single dugga boy, as despite Dave having shot several before he had not shot a dugga boy. On the 5th day we tracked our bull for part of the morning and most of the afternoon before Dave gave him a beautiful heart shot. We then shot 2 old baboons as Dave has all the plains game already. I thoroughly enjoyed Dave’s wonderful sense of humour and had a great 10 days with Dave

24 years later, Buzz hasn’t lost his enthusiasm, but he knows a hell of a lot more. He won’t let you shoot the first decent animal you see, but insists on working for something really good. What impressed me most about Buzz is hi practice of keeping the client informed. Unlike the 15 other PHs I’ve hunted with he does not talk exclusively with his trackers, leaving you to wonder what’s going on. He tells you what you’re tracking, and how good it is-or not, as the case may be and how far you’ll have to walk and how it will probably take. Worth it its weight in gold. Also he keeps a sharp eye out for serpents.
