In March of 2022 the two army veterans from Alabama arrived at Big Water Safaris for their long anticipated hunt. To say that their hunt was a success would be an understatement. Their willingness to hunt hard and spend long hours in the veld contributed in a major way to the success. Several really good trophy animals, including two kudu bulls were hunted. They also had great success at hunting predators at night.    Professional hunter, Thinus Steyn. Predator hunting guided by Heinrich Funck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"786\" src=\"https:\/\/bigwatersafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/02-1024x786.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bigwatersafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/02-1024x786.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bigwatersafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/02-300x230.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bigwatersafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/02-768x590.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bigwatersafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/02-1536x1180.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bigwatersafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/02.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Sean Nicke and Simon Nokwayi, who tracked and found the bull, with Sean&#8217;s sable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"783\" src=\"https:\/\/bigwatersafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/05-1024x783.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bigwatersafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/05-1024x783.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bigwatersafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/05-300x230.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bigwatersafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/05-768x588.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bigwatersafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/05-1536x1175.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bigwatersafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/05.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Stephen Androlevich with his Kudu bull.
