KMG Hunting Season 2017

Where I shot my lion, the black staff were watering about the mouth and couldn't wait to get it on the brie.........me not so much. When I shot my elephant the local villagers came out en-mass and two days later there was just a damp spot in the sand and a pile of burnt bones. Nothing gets wasted in Africa, at least that has been my experience. Warthog is truly outstanding fare, we have eaten every one I have shot, right there in camp. I'm told waterbuck is not edible and really disgusting tasting, but this is the only antelope I've heard this about. Never tried it, but it was still brought in and something was done with it, sold I suppose...........

The locals couldnt get to the stomach of my water buck fast enough. Apparently they love it. It smelled awful, way awful.
 
Waterbuck skin has an oily base and as long as the musky outer skin (hairy parts) doesn't come into continual direct contact with the meat it is fine to eat and actually tastes ok. However, should the oily part have continual contact with the meat it has a very distinctive musky rotten smell.......... not so nice for tablefare
 
Speaking of Waterbuck .... we had one recently run into the water after being wounded and putting the dogs on it. The PH (owner of KMG Hunting Safaris) for the hunt went into the water to retrieve the downed Waterbuck after realizing his dogs wouldn't come out without it!


And of course a happy hunter!

After watching locals in Zimbabwe break roast giraffe bones for the marrow in Zim and eat eyeballs, I don't think most North American sustenance hunters have a leg to stand on to criticize meat usage from African trophy hunting.
