I have NEVER seen a beast vanish into component parts as quick as this one did !!!! And let me tell you....NOTHING, not a thing is wasted !!! Thomas (maybe the Mary Jane at play) grabbed his "favourite parts"...the scrotum, its contents and the second stomach...that were to be his evening feast !!!



And back at camp with a few of the cuts they were sharing out among the staff...



A vehicle (another great Landcruiser ) from the main camp was out on a stores run so it took my head and cape back to the skinners



A "lawn ornament"



Soooooo..... on the drive back and over a relaxing lunch we discussed "what now", from this camp they only hunt Buffalo, Elephant and Leopard (saw one on the drive out !!!).. With the distances and difficulty involved we decided initially to go see if we could find a Kudu

We did have a guest join us for lunch (he was chasing a skink in the meal room)...



I have to say, I really enjoyed my time at this camp, it was quiet with just myself, Boet and a few staff. The evening beers were great as was the conversation and the hunting, well, it was hunting, a bit frustrating at times, hard work at others, challenging and exciting. Despite being hot, dirty and sweaty, I loved it...!!! Each and every moment of it !!

So...instead of spending another night out at the Buffalo Camp we decided to get back on the track and to the main camp for the night (closer to where we were to hunt Kudu). One thing here is that in the wet season all the streams and such come up and batter whatever little bridges and such they put in. As a result there are lots of "less than permanent" bridges over little (and not so little) bodies of water.

This one use to have a permanent and well made bridge (pre the civil war) but now...



One the way back we passed through a couple of small communities and villages, one of which includes of of the six schools that the company I was hunting with built and maintains as part of their commitment in Moz. It also had a nifty "Corner Store" ...


Back at the main camp just in time for an afternoon relax before dinner...
