Gerald Bates, who is 'now sta
tioned in Congo Beige, Africa, as
a missionary for the Free Meth
odist church, has written his
father, Earl Bates, of Caldwell
route 1, a glowing account of
their first wild game hunt in
Africa. The complete hunt is as
follows, as told by Missionary
Bates:
"Our hunting trip covered the
3 days before Christmas. We
drove about 65 miles from
Kibuye where Jim and Shirley
live there were three of us—me,
Jim and Dr. Al Snyder. Our
camp was about 5 miles from
the road (a road which, like
most of our roads, is merely dirt
about like the road used to be
between Schotts and squirrel
skin) so we had our stuff por
tered in by 8 porters (tent, food,
lights, bedding, etc.) which we
paid 10 francs a day (20c). The
path led over two big ridges and
down into a big valley in which
we were to (hunt. The people
were very primitive, living in
mud houses and very dirty.
"They don't see many white
folks back in those hills. We
went in the morning and set
up camp about 10:30, had a light
lunch while we sent out some
men to look for game. They
located some and we split up
to get better shots and didn't
see each other until late after
noon. I got two nice shots at
waterbucks but missed both
times, was probably just ner
vous. So after a long hike for
nothing I came back to camp to
find that Dr. Al had gotten a
small deer (about 100 lbs.) called
by the natives an ngetty-getty.
"We were drinking tea and
resting when we heard shots
fairly close and a native came
and got us—Jim had got a
waterbuck about 500 yards from
camp. They are a type of ante
lope that I figure will weigh
from 500 to 750 lbs. with rather
straight horns that will measure
as (high as 30 inches each. That
evening of the first day we
went out a little while to hunt
before supper and decided to
keep within sight of each other
and go down a little valley. I
had to cross a little stream and
swamp and couldn't get across
without getting my feet wet so
I walked upstream. I came on
three wild hogs feeding. I
stepped behind a bush so they
wouldn't see me. So I looked
them over through the scope of
my rifle and picked out the
biggest one. They heard me and
started for the brush I tried for
a shoulder shot and hit high in
the back. The one I got was a
sow there must have been a sow
and two pigs.
"We were all pretty excited
about this because not many
missionaries out here, even the
ones that have hunted a long
time, have gotten one of these.
We had one of the hams for
Xmas dinner the meat is light
and about halfway between beef
and pork for taste.
"The next day was. the big
hunt. The herd was in a big
shamba (patch of brush). We
were to got two or three miles
down the valley and post our
selves and then the natives were
to drive them down towards us.
(We had 15 or 20 natives that
worked just for meat.) We got
all set and my gunbearer heard
them running behind us the
herd !had crossed over and gone
over the ridge behind us. I ran
up over the ridge to catch a
glimpse of them through the
trees. I ran down over this hill
pell-mell but couldn't get a clear

Wild Game Hunt In Africa
WILD GAME HUNTING IN CONGO, AFRICA
Gerald Bates, of Caldwell route 1, and James Johnson, of
Cambridge, are pictured above with part of the results of a hunt
in Ruanda Urundi, Congo Beige, Africa. Johnson-got two water
bucks (the animal pictured) and Bates one waterbuck and a wild
"For us", writes Bates, "hunting is not altogether sport it
is practically the only means to get good meat and is relatively
inexpensive". Bates and Johnson are missionaries of the Free
Methodist church. This hunt was conducted only 60 miles from
Kibuye, one of the Free Methodist mission stations in the mount
ains.
shot.
"Finally after 3 or 4 hours we
all got together with no game
4 bucks had gone up over this
high ridge to the other side. At
about 10:30 we had a peanut
butter sandwich each and fin
ished off our canteen of water.
Then one of the natives saw a
huge herd of waterbuck a full
four miles away, in the opposite
direction from camp. We looked
them over with field glasses
there must have been 40 or 50
head in this huge herd.
"We decided to go after them.
We walked downhill fast for
about an hour and came in on
the far side of this large clear
ing. Al dropped his buck first
with one shot. I wounded one
and he started in a sort of con
fused circle with me running and
shooting. Finally he ran out into
the open and Jim who was with
me finished him with a shot in
the neck. Jim had one of his
own down and when he went
over to finish him off the buck
jumped up and ran down
through the brush. Jim's rifle
was empty so he went tearing
down through the brush shoot
ing at this buck with his pistol.
It sounded like a small army
running down through the brush.
"All this happened in about
10 minutes in that length of
time we had about a ton of meat
down. That 8 miles or more
back to camp without food or
water was one of the longest I
ever walked. My lower lip split
from the sun and no water. We
staggered in (and I mean1 it, this
tropic sun is no joke) about 3:30.
The natives skinned out the
meat and brought it in late that
night. We kept what would be
the tenderloins and the hams
and gave them the rest.
"It rained that night and they
wouldn't porter our stuff out
so we had to stay an extra night.
It was that last night that I
heard a step beside the tent (I
slept on the ground on an air
mattress) so Jim- and I grabbed
our guns and a flashlight and
went outside but didn't see any
thing. The meat was hung in a
tree just by the tent and we
were expecting leopard or hyena.
We saw several fresh leopard
tracks by the streams and could
hear the hippos down in the
river. In 1956 a maneating lion
came through and killed 3 people
I
in a village that used to be right
behind our camp. The natives
moved the camp over to the
other hill "after that. (I guess
they thought the lion wouldn't
walk over there.)
"Anyway we brought out
plenty of meat for the conference
and put away lots in the freezers
at Kibuye. So we had quite a
hunt. The natives were happy
with their share of the meat and
we were happy to get home to a
shave and a bath. We won't be
likely to hunt again until next
fall because the grass gets too
high in wet season. But I"ll be
anxious to go again.
"We did get one scare when
we got out. The natives had
talked about "mboga" and we
didn't know the word. It turned
out that that is the word for
buffalo and they thought there
was one with the large herd of
waterbuck. And a missionary
said there is one in that area, a
mean old bull. So he may have
been watching all our perform
ance. If so I'm glad he stayed
quite because Jim had the only
gun big enough to kill him and
he is rated one of the most dang
erous animals in Africa. So we
were running around in blissful
ignorance all that time. Next
time I'm going to be a little more
watchful and keep a tree handy
We hope to camp in that area
next time. Well, this time I have
told the hunting story instead
of you—remember how I used
to beg for a coon story?"
