I find myself in the odd situation of being drawn back to the dark continent. I've decided to start looking for a return to africa with the only ph who's ever fully taken care of me. His name is Ian Van Der Vyver. Over the years we have become like brothers. Hearing his stories off and on of the big 5 really has me thinking about hunting them now. I've never before had the desire to shoot any elephant or hippo. It seems as if there is zero fun in shooting an animal you can walk right up to. However he now is starting to sway my opinions on many of my old strong beliefs. I am wrinting this to ask you guys what your opinion is.
animal #1 is definitely a rhino. is there anything fun about rhino hunting? is there anywhere that you can hunt a rhino and get a true free range experience? Im assuming a rhino is zero fun and as of right now I havent heard any advice that has swayed me on this subject.
animal #2. A large bull elephant. My ph now has me thinking that chasing an 80+ lb tusker would be quite an adrenaline rush. If i were to persue this do you think I would have an awesome experience?
animal #3. A large male lion. I've always wanted to hunt a lion but I've never like the looks of a free range lion. I do love the looks of a high fenced lion and would love to have one. Heres my delima. My ph says there are areas where you can hunt high fenced lions that have been free roaming inside the fence for years. He said that these hunts are hard to find but are sometimes available and that they are quite enjoyable. He know has me thinking of doing this type of hunt. So my question to you is this. Are high fenced hunts like the ones conducted by spiral horn safaris enjoyable? what are the experiences like and what can one expect?
Thanks in advance
