I have hunted Spain twice for all for ibex and a few other species. I am going back next year for 2 chamois and the Balerean Boc. Going for the Capra super 20.
I took my wife once. She enjoyed it, but it was not her ideal vacation.
Europe and most of Spain is expensive. I cringe over...
Bob,
It should be a fun one. To finish off this year I am heading to Tanzania in 4 days, a desert sheep hunt in CA, and a Texas mule deer hunt in Dec with my 7 y/o son.
2012 has me headed to Cameroon to hunt Bongo and whatever other species I come across. After that it is Dall Sheep in the Yukon, and Marco Polo in Tajikistan to wrap up the year. But for now, I am waiting to leave for Tanzania in 2 weeks!
100% Go with Zambezi Hunters. Run From Terry Anders and Forever African Safaris. The comparison to the operationis night and day. I curse myself everyday for not having the patience to wait for a lion tag with Zambezi Hunters and booking with a 2nd rate operation next door.
Is anyone familiar with Anderson Wheeler London double rifles? I have seen their advertisements in the African Hunting Gazette and wanted to know if anyone owns one or has shot one.
The area outside of Gonarezhou has produced some monster elephant in recent years and the hunting seems to be getting better and better. I took a 78# out of Maheyne with Zambezi Hunters in 09. I can't wait to go back.
piranpr, please tell me more about the pic. Is this a Persian Ibex? It looks similar to the bezoar I took in Turkey, but lighter in color. What an awesome trophy. Someday I hope to hunt the ibex and sheep of Iran.
Jamie,
I have had 2 rifles recently built and for both he said the TSX shot the best. In africa, I have had the best luck with trophy bonded bear claws and sledgehammers. I have used swift scirocco, which are deadly, but can leave a massive exit wound(I still use them for sheep and mountain...
Elephant Zimbabwe, 2009 Zambezi Hunters. Johnny Hulme PH. 375H&H at 75 yards, 100 yards from the Gonarezhou border. 5 shots of 375H&H, 2 Shots 500NE, and 1 shot 470NE.
Les, welcome to AH. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. The board is full of resources to bounce ideas off. Good luck on your upcoming safari. You will find you can never just go once.
Chandlers Mountain Reedbuck, 2010 Tanzania Wildlife Company, Lake Natron. Daniel Moore, PH. After climbing for a total of 5 hours up the mountain we were able to connect with a great Chandlers Mountain Reedbuck. It took 7 hours to get down the mountain, hitting volcanic rocks every other step...
East African Eland, 2010 Tanzania Wildlife Company. Lake Natron with PH Daniel Moore. We took him at the end of the day after climbing for the Chandlers Mountain Reedbuck on the Kenyan border overlooking Lake natron. It was a 200 yard shot with my 416 Rigby where the Eland piled up after 75...
East African Impala 2010 Lake Natron, Tanzania Wildlife Company, Daniel Moore PH. Impala were scarce in the concession and he was taken on the 12th day.
I have heard Sango is amazing from what Johnny has said. I will get there one of these days. Once I get all the plains game hunts I want to do out of the way, I plan on hunting elephant and buff and I am sure Johnny and I will do a few of those trips together.
That sounds intriguing. I...
Will, I bought a LDE hunt with Mayo for Cameroon next year at the GSCO auction this year, but decided to swap it for a bongo hunt as it fit into my schedule better. I am still going back and forth on where to go for LDE and haven't booked yet. I did decide to push my dall hunt back until next...
Sestoppleman,
Good luck on your hunt. I am not familiar with Bubiana, but it looks like a wonderful place. I am going to take my wife and son to Lemco in 2013. He will be 8.5 at that time. I figure getting to see the wildlife and an opportunity to take a few plains game animals is a great...
I am hunting next door with Terry Anders from June 15th-July 2nd for lion, buff, and plains game. I had planned on hunting with Johnny, but Alistair had a mix up and sold the lion permit. I think we may have met in Reno. I took the 78# elephant with Johnny back in 09. I am planning on having...
Phenomenal buffalo. I can only hope to take a high 40"-50"+ monster someday. It has been a few years since I have seen a good buff to shoot, but I am off to the Save Valley in 3 weeks, so I will be on the hunt for one.
Famars makes beautiful shotguns and rifles. I was tempted to order a double, but I purchased a shotgun at SCI from Famars in 2009. It was promised to me in April, but didn't show up until January the following year. Communication is not their strong point. Keep everything in writing in case...
Terry,
I was a leupold fan for many years and then switched to all swarovski. I put a red dot S&B on my 375 this year for a lion hunt in the save which could occur at night. It is by far the brightest scope I have in my safe. The swarovski's are great and I will continue to use and buy them...
Master Blaster,
I hunted with with Nick back in 2008, and he is a class act. His camp has a comfortable bungalow with ensuite shower. Food is home cooked simple, but excellent fair. He hunts a variety of areas depending on what animals you are after. If you can walk and shoot straight, he...
I hunted in Mahenye outside of Gonarezhou 2 years ago in late October with Johnny Hulme of Zambezi hunters. Later in the year seems to be better in this area as elephants are moving out of the park for water at the Zim/Mozambique border. I was able to take a 78 pounder with 7' ivory. Johnny...
I have hunted with Zambezi Hunters and Johnny Hulme. Johnny is a first class PH who runs a great operation. Hopefully we can hunt elephant in the future together. I will be next door at Forever Africa's concession in June hunting with Terry Anders for Lion, buff and plains game. The plan...
I am usually hunting DG, so I don't always have a dedicated small caliber rifle with me. With success I have used a 416 Rigby or 375H&H on several safaris taking many small antelope with solids.
I have hunted with Chifuti in Chewore in the Valley and hunted with Zambezi Hunters outside Gonarezhou where I was able to do some great elephant hunting. Johnny Hulme of Zambezi Hunters is a first class PH who I plan on hunting with again someday. I am going with Terry Anders of Forever...
Jose,
I have had problems a couple of times with rifles going missing or being damaged hunting overseas. Westley Richards turned me on to Core-Vens who DSC also recommends. Tim Hartsock 563-242-5423. I had trouble with a claim before from another company. The Core-Vens policy is much more...
Big5 when I am hunting sheep, goats and ibex it sure is a pleasure having the ultra light weight model especially when I am hunting in high altitude especially at the 12,000-16,000 foot range. With that said, Lex recommended a brake on it when I purchased it 10 years ago and I have never...
I took my 300 ultra mag to Tanzania for the plains game portion of my hunt. I had always used the swift scirocco 180 grains for the rifles. They are super accurate. Everything I took was a one shot kill and resulted in most animals dropping in their place. I took nyasa wildebeest, zebra...
