Ya'all know what I admire? That's the guys that want others (spouse/family) to join them in Africa and enjoy the mystical hunting atmosphere that is so special there. Also, the guys that consider it an honor and privilege to bask in these extraordinary experiences! Good luck and good hunting...

Notice the left ear of this bull. A leopard or lion probably bit it off cleanly. It had scars on it's left shoulder where it escaped from something. Horns measured 55"

This large bull weighed in at approx 15K #, and had very nice, heavy ivory too

shots Start early if necessary, in obtaining your required shots for your foreign destination. Some, like Zimbabwe or C.A.R., for example my require the HEP A and HEP B in a SERIES, which may require quite some time in between.

Immunizations As soon as possible after committing to / confirming your hunting destination, check with CDC website and your local medical offices on immunizations REQUIRED for your destination. Many are just RECOMMENDED! With a ton of mercury in my body from years of military shots, PLEASE...

We found it successful to keep all our travel documents -- passports, immigration visas, shot records, tickets, 4457 firearm forms, import permits etc etc, in a large Manila envelope, ( & vigilantly safeguarded)!

foreign customs We found the following to work good for us: Upon arrival at the final foreign airport destination, one person took appropriate documents and went to the separate Customs locations for the firearms & one person went for the regular luggage.

These are destructive varmints of Africa, as the big alpha male shown here. Their long fangs and sharp claws can rip a guy to shreds -- so be careful. Zimbabwe.

This was also the largest Buff out of Zimbabwe that year, but it took 12 well-placed shots from a .416 Rigby & .375 H&H to put him on the ground! I "spined" him with #13 to finish him off.

2,000 lb, Malala area, Cape Buffalo that was an astounding 45 3/4" spread, plus 13 1/2" bosses!

This is the only green spot we could find --note the burned-off land, in the first week of November.

My heart will always be full of gratitude for the nice young man in the blue shirt we picked up in a village early one morning. He was so nice, but professional in his tracking to read the signs and reward me with this exceptional buffalo. It was in the Malala hunting area of No.Zimbabwe in '05...
