Good day out on the Marrakai Plain
13/07/25 12:09 AM

Spent the morning chasing pigs and buffalo on the Marrakai Plain today with some degree of success.
Some ripper boars fell to our guns but the buffalo were elusive.
The big swamps along the river are still quite full due to the wet season's strong finish earlier this year,
and the herds of buffalo were conspicuous by their loud splashing stampedes out into the swamps whenever the wind changed.
...which was all too frequently!
We only scored a dozen pigs or so between the three of us, but most were good sized hogs with a sprinkling of big tuskers.
Here's my three best:

This one was shot through the shoulders perfectly at about 20 metres, but after flopping around in his wallow for a few seconds he managed to get to his feet and ran straight at us! Stopped him with a frontal head-shot within 5 paces!
Bit more exciting than it needed to be!

This fellow was shared with my buddy as it turned out (2 bullet holes).
Bit of a melee at the time, with all 3 of us in a bomb-up. A couple of lucky hogs got clean away.

This 100 kilo monster was spotted walking in to water, He dropped to a well-placed shot
...but from the other side of the muddy channel visible in the background!
A long walk round was required to avoid muddy/wet boots. ...and crocs!

The buffalo will have to wait till next time!
