2016 Hunt Report |
We are so happy to welcome back Mikhail and his wife Alla. Mikhail is from Russia and contacted Richard in early February with a request to hunt Hippo |

This was however the first time Richard could bring the gun back from the US as he had finally got a permit issued..yes after only 7 years! It was a very exciting adrenalin filled hunt and Mikhail was so happy he got to experience it! Thanks for the gun David and thanks to Mikhail for making such a great shot! |
Richard was happy to accommodate him even though it ment flying back from the USA to South Africa to do the hunt and then flying back to the US to do three more hunting shows! |
This hunt took place on property close to Kruger National Park. The hunters had planned to hunt Hippo at night when they would have left the water and have been grazing on land but that was not to be! They where scouting the waterside to get a general idea of which area the big bulls where in when this monster bull charged at them from out of the water! |
Thank heaven Mikhail is a great shot and managed to hit the charging bull from only 5meters perfectly! |
Mikhail was using Richards 416 Rigby given to him by another great client David from Arkansas back in 2008. |
Alla enjoyed sharing the hunting experience with her husband and was extra excited about the croc! I think Mikhail may have to shoot another one one day for boots! |
Crocodile was also on Mikhails list and after deciding which length croc he wanted he managed to take this lovely animal with a quick clean shot. |
Mikhail decided to end off his stay with a zebra. |
Mikhail also treated his wife to a day in Kruger National Park and they got to see some lovely animals! |
What a beautiful area they got to hunt in! Thanks guys...we look forward to your next trip! |
