John Cleerman Hunt Report – July 2017

I FOUND A WATER BUFFALO HUNT IN AUSTRALIA. WHY NOT TRY SOMETHING NEW. JULY 1/2017 ANDREW MACKAY OF AUSTRALIAN OUTFITTERS PICKED ME UP IN DARWIN. AFTER AN ALL DAY DRIVE WE GOT TO CAMP AND WOW, TALK ABOUT THE OUTBACK I
FOUND IT. AWESOME TENT! THE WATERFALL IS TO DIE FOR. AFTER A COLD BEER AND A GREAT MEAL WITH WINE, EARLY TO BED. NEXT MORNING ITS OFF TO THE BUSH (AND WAY IN THE BUSH) WE SAW ABOUT 12 BUFFALO, BUT NO SHOOTER. AND THEN ANDREW SAYS GET YOUR GUN AND LETS GO, HE IS NICE.

WELL AFTER BIG CHASE WE COULDN’T GET ON HIM FOR A SHOT. BACK TO THE TRUCK AND MOVE ON. WE PASS UP A FEW MORE, THEN THERE IS ANOTHER NICE ONE. OFF WE GO AGAIN, AS WE GAIN GROUND HE STOPPED I SHOT AND IN THE BUSH HE RAN. OFF WE GO ON THE BLOOD, BUT NOT FOR LONG, 2 MORE SHOTS AND HE IS DOWN. WOW WAS A RUSH AND NICE BUFFALO.

ANDREW WORKED HIS ASS OFF IN THE BRIGHT HOT SUN CUTTING AND CAPPING OUT THE BUFFALO. ANOTHER GREAT MEAL AND TO BED. MORNING CAME WITH EGGS AND TOAST, THEN OFF TO THE RIVER FOR WHAT? FISHING BARRAMUNDI SAYS ANDREW, AND I LOVE TO FISH. ANDREW WINS WITH FIRST FISH.

10 MINUTES AFTER I SET THE HOOK AND LAND A NICE ONE, BACK TO CAMP AND CLEAN FISH. SUN IS SETTING AND THE FISH ARE ON THE GRILL, BEER IN HAND AND JUST WATCHING THE WATERFALL. I AM THINKING IT JUST DON’T GET ANY BETTER !!!!!! FISH WAS TOTALLY AWESOME OR JUST A DAMN GOOD COOK.

ALL IN ALL THIS WAS MORE THAN A HUNT THIS WAS A TRUE ADVENTURE.

THANK YOU, ANDREW DUNDEE MACKAY

Hunting Testimonial – Steve Price – July 2016

Andrew is the stunt driver, the professional hunter, the tracker and the skinner, all condensed into a single man. Andrew is, without a doubt, the first man you want beside you when the hunted becomes the hunter. As you might imagine, he also retains an endless collection of entertaining first-hand experiences to keep things interesting when the hunting day concludes.

Of course, table fare is a very important aspect of any hunting experience. Fresh, grilled barramundi taken from the river beside camp was the featured item and was most certainly my favorite meal in camp. We feasted on a variety of meats including rusa deer, sambar deer, lamb and juicy beef steaks. We were served a delicious well-balanced meal three times daily whether in camp or in the field. One evening Lora served New Zealand green lipped mussels with wasabi for a dinner appetizer. Another morning she surprised us with eggs Benedict.

In conclusion, Australia’s Outback is a superb place to meet incredibly friendly, English-speaking people, enjoy great fair-chase hunting and have a “no cellular devices in use” experience. I highly recommend it!

Trophy Barramundi Fishing Australia

My first Barramundi

 

I got to accompany my husband on his trip to hunt a buffalo. I went into this not knowing at all what to expect. I had the time of my life! Even though I didn’t hunt, I got to witness the buffalo hunt up close. I really enjoy fishing and was able to wet a hook and catch the largest fish I have ever caught. It was such a thrill to pull that fish in. There was plenty of room at camp to walk around and do a little exploring and picture taking. We camped by a beautiful waterfall along a river and had the privilege of getting to see all sorts of Australian wildlife as well as photography them. It was an experience that everyone should try to get to have and I shall never forget it. Thank you for the wonderful memories.
