Story

In August 2014 I took a lioness hunt with Discount African Hunts in the Northwest Province of South Africa. The PH's worked hard to customize the hunt for me as I wanted a challenging stalk ending with taking the lioness at close range by an open sighted double rifle. They exceeded my expectations as 12 miles of tracking ended with me shooting the highly agitated lioness at a distance of 25 yards with a couple of rounds of 450 NE.


Additional Info

The tracking of the lioness through the soft sand was physically taxing. I quickly found out that a lion's strolling gate was a man's fast walking speed. She stayed 150 to 300 yards ahead of us all day and due to the density of the bush we only glimpsed her five times before she made her stand. This was the most physically exhausting hunt I have conducted. No way can this hunt be labeled "Canned".


Recommendation

I highly recommend a lioness hunt with Discount African Hunts.
