Hammond Hunt

By ButchCoatonSafaris,

I have not posted anything for ages and am going to try and catch up on the season so far!!
My friends and bow hunting mentors, Jeff and Dasha returned for their 6th safari with me in July. Ross Johnston was our 2nd PH. Based out of Hammond ranch in the SVC for 14 days, it was a hunt filled with highs and lows with a lot of laughs and stories in-amongst all that. Always enjoyable with a lot of hard hunting, long days, short nights, hasty meals, crawling, stalking, frustration, adrenalin filled close encounters and that feeling of hunting at its purest when doing it with a bow…
Thank you Jeff, Dasha and Ross as well as the trackers scouts and camp staff for an unforgettable 2 weeks. 
Till next time! 
Be safe

Huge Hog!
The “big pig”. Well done, Dash and Ross. That was always going to be your hog, Dash!
Jeff’s biggest kudu sport far! A nerve-wracking 30 mins and a great 51-yard shot. Makorokoto!

We climbed many hills. Great sunset in the SVC.

Last night at no 2…
Dasha was brave enough to let both Ringi and I shoot her “pink” bow. It was a huge success!
My PH for my birthday impala with the “pink bow”. Thank you, Dasha! It was a really good experience being on the other side.
