I'll bet it was that charging video . It certainly got me excited about hunting them!
 
Good call Johnny!
 
I just wanted to thank everyone for their opinions, insight , input and jokes. This was a fun thread even though at times I was more confused than when I started. Want to wish everyone a safe and productive season. I look forward to the photos and reports from members.

And the antis will say very soon that because there are not 50,000 Pygmy Hippo in the wild that they are endangered. Therefore, all hippo will need to be put on the up listing track and taken out of available animals to hunt.

Thank you @spike.t for providing the needed picture evidence!

Get your hippo now folks!

You bet we will @johnnyblues
I am glad you will hunt the river horse....be he on land or in the water ........doesn't matter. Shoot straight!
 
I'll do my best!
 
Rest easy my friend.......you have made the right decision. You are in for a great hunt. Oh by the way.......The buffalo hunt will be fun and exciting as well! :A Way To Go:
 
Thanks buddy.
 
This thread was an emotional roller coaster but concluded the way I hoped. Looking forward to the post hunt report.
 
Marius. Whatever u do don't give johnny a choice for lunch or u will starve. Johnny have a ball. Right choice, just saying

Good morning. I'll take all of them actually. Whats the next step? Thanks, Derek
Have a look af our latest post on the biggest roan i ever guided on!


I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….

I'd like to get some too.

My wife (a biologist, like me) had to have a melanoma removed from her arm last fall.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?
