The David Brown Diaries

 

	Nothing comes close to stalking a Kudu bull in the thick bush, treading softly not to make a sound, concentrating on whether the wind direction is going to give your position away to your quarry. Everything out here is equal. You are hunting an animal in its natural environment. You keep on going, every muscle in your body is tensed, your eyes focused on a spot in the bush that resembles the color of a kudu. You read the body language of your PH, his excitement that of a true hunter.
Your heartbeat accelerates as you realize that the shooting stick is going up in front of you. This is the moment where it all comes down to you. Have you done enough or will the excitement get the better of you? Through the telescope you see the body of an animal, eyes locked directly on to you. Seconds feel like hours, the shot brings a sudden release of tension through your whole body. For a brief moment you see and hear nothing, everything feels unreal. The majestic animal in front of you disappears into the dense bush, leaving you with a shaking body and a feeling of disappointment. In your mind you play the shot over and over, everything felt so perfect.
	A sudden shout from your tracker rings through the bush. It is a language you don’t understand, but you know exactly what it means. Your quarry is lying in front of you, even more majestic that what he looked like through the telescope on your rifle. Your emotions are mixed as you pay him your last respect. Behind you the sounds of francolin and the red sun on the horizon bring the end to another day in Africa.

 

Hunting in Africa should be about the experience of hunting an animal, giving it a fare chance and showing respect towards it and its environment.
This is what we at Shona Hunting Adventures strive for.
