Many of our customers know we praised Rainer Josh’s first DVD—Mountain Buffalo, which we thought was very well done. Now, two years later, they have another DVD—nobody can accuse them of over producing movies!—and again we think this is movie will have a legacy. If you want a lot of shooting, this is not your DVD; however, if you want a very well-produced, completely fair-chase hunt with lots of hard work before the hunter gets a buffalo, this is the flick for you. Hunters climb up Mount Loosimingor, and everything must be taken in a backpack. Hunting is from a tent, and the mountains are cold at night, and this resembles a mountain-game hunt even with the rain! It is interesting to note how the vegetation, only a few thousand feet above the parched dry northern Tanzanian plains, is very lush and green. The buffaloes in these mountains are very challenging to hunt, and to add to the difficulty, Josh—who is the guide and PH—and his longtime tracker, Lorinyo, only want to shoot solitary bulls or very old herd bulls. A few clients are filmed, and it is clear that this is no cakewalk, for you see a young, fit client makes a less-than-perfect shot. The following up, no less than two days, in thick tangle and steep terrain is devilishly difficult. Another client is older but patient and shoots well. As before, the spirit and experience of a true wilderness hunt comes through in spades. The client hunters are German or English, and if German is spoken, English subtitles are provided. |
