Hello fellow hunters and forum members,

Glad to be able to create this post after a very challenging 2020 with Covid shutting down our livelihoods in a matter of weeks..... We have been blessed to be busy since January 2021 and have been constantly hunting throughout. If all goes well we are looking forward to busy 2021 season and I will keep posting pictures of our travels and trophies we take on this thread.

This was from our first safari in Cameroon in January with a great friend and forum member.

Ready to board our flight to Garoua....

Some of the landscape you can expect to encounter when you hunt Cameroon with JKO Hunting Safaris.

First day we had to get some camp meat and this nice Western Kob makes for some fine dining...

Early in the season we have to burn the tall grass to be able to track and see animals when hunting.

Typical Lord Derby country...!

Here Kevin shows how high these Eland actually break branches to get to those green leaves... When hunting Lord Derby Eland you are not always looking for only tracks but also freshly broken branches like this one!

After a long walk tracking eland we could not catch up to it is always nice to have a soft comfortable seat, this is provided by the trackers!

Beautiful Red Flanked Duiker we took while on our way back to camp, we saw them daily but when this one made his appearance we had to get him in the salt.

Except for Western Kob we also serve freshly caught Capitaine which is the best fresh water fish you will ever have in your life....

Here is another stunner of a Western Kob and Bohor Reedbuck we took.

After a lot of tracking and getting close to herds of Eland, Kevin made a great shot on this beautiful Lord Derby Eland. Hunting these Lord Derby Eland is never easy and they always move in big herds so getting in close enough for a shot is always very challenging.

Then we were headed to Zimbabwe for croc and hippo.... As always Lake Kariba did not disappoint and we had a great hunt.

Beautiful view from camp....

We do sometimes bait crocs when the weather does not play along.... Crocs cannot resist smell of blood and meat in the water! Can you spot the blind?

One of the perks of hunting in areas like this is that there is always great fishing that goes along with the hunt.

Hippo we took for bait.....

Here is one of my favorite animals to hunt as they are so wary, clever and underestimated... Beautiful old croc from Lake Kariba!

We also had some time to hunt some hyena, this specific male was so hungry that he came running flat out, after we shot it we found it had a snare around its neck which must have made hunting harder for this old male... This also contributed to his poor condition.

Stay tuned for more top quality trophies.....
 
We also had a concurrent safari in South Africa with friends from Europe....

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary

Booked with Harold Grinde - Gana River - they sure kill some good ones - who'd you get set up with?
