Hunt date May3-11, 2011
Participants: SGraves and Tom Y. Location: Several areas in Northern Belize Lodging: Maya Kingdom Lodge at Altun Ha Game hunted: River water-Buffalo, red brocket deer, Warrie (white-lipped peccary) Gibnut (paca). The water buffalo were originally brought in to Belize about 30 years ago for milk and meat production, but some have escaped or been released into the wild. Some still had ear-tags. Game taken: buffalo, red-brocket Game or tracks seen: coatimundi, tapir tracks, jaguar tracks, Warrie, currasow Weapons used: Mostly old singleshot shotguns, but an old bolt action .270 rifle for buffalo Other activities: fishing for freshwater tarpon in ponds (hooked and lost several in 5-10 lb range), trolling and bait fishing for a variety of fish (only caught small snapper and 'cuda), snorkeling at the reef with sharks and rays. Viewing the Mayan ruins at tourist sites, and finding Mayan ruins while hunting. The hunting and fishing opportunities were provided by David Hill from his lodge at Maya Kingdom. He is not a PH, and does not accompany folks on the hunts. He is a Facilitator, Naturalist and Entrepeneur. He will arrange for your license and hire locals to provide the services, and get you to where they will pick you up. There were times where not enough food, cooking/eating utensils, sleeping pads, or ammo were present. They are just getting started and David will, of course, need to make sure that future hunters' basic needs are met at every camp. At present, there do not appear to be any other operators offering these hunting services. Everyday was strenuous, but usually enjoyable.
