Even though I wanted to use my new Rigby, Pato called a double only hunt Sunday. A good early rainstorm left us with a cool day and damp underfoot so even Pato could track. Caught this good boar just as he finished a morning dip. Rifle is a beautiful little Raick Frerez double in 450/400 Mixed mob of buffalo at first light. Ordinary photo but there is a white cow in the shot. Several of her offspring were noticeable from there pie bald markings Patos bull from earlier post. If you look closely you can see the haze above the bulls head from impact. Also hooves digging into ground and rear off leg raised as slug catches the bull in the skull. Mixed mob encountered near a permanent water source Pato and my son with a dingo taken with his Coggswell and Harrison .475 Nitro. Nice shot! Unlucky dog? Some shots of a young bull encountered while Pato went looking for pigs. He was very curious and hung around my son and I for a good twenty minutes at no more than 20 yards distance. Hope he grows to reach his potential. Another bull I disturbed while he was having a mud bath. I approached him to around 30 yards and he just stood looking. The wind changed and i saw his nostrils widen. He then decided a closer look may be in order and he made his way towards me. With no real menace on show i kept taking photos. He then saw Pato and my youngen over the creek, took this look and departed. Scrub bulls were also encountered. |
