Another Canadian eh? Welcome! Just a word of caution, not many hunt Africa ‘once’, its an addictive drug and not easily overcome.
Thanks, an Africa addiction could be the death of me, but it'll be a nice way to go. Really nice list of places you've hunted by the way.

Looks like a Suffield Elk in your Avatar. Nice bull.

Welcome to AH.
You're just one province off, a Saskatchewan southern zones draw elk, my first. Thanks for the compliment and the welcome.
 
Hello! Where in Sask you from? Zone 19 elk?
 
Welcome! How about a better picture of tha bull and a little story behind it!
Cheers,
Cody
Finally drew a 2017 elk tag after many years of trying in my home province. Although very close I had no luck in the early season. I was hunting on a friends land when he spotted it at more than a mile away, bull was by himself and slowly heading back to a no hunting area. After a "bit" of a scramble to get to him, found he had actually laid down in the wide open. We got to within a hundred yards and then he heard us, he got up, saw us and decided we were trouble. I shot him running and slightly quartering away. He went right down (a nice surprise) but needed a coup de gras to make it quick. Took me six days to get him, but the hardest parts of the hunt were still getting drawn and getting permission to hunt where the elk were. His left side is quite a bit weaker and he had an older injury to his right hoof and fetlock. Sorry about the poor picture but although I think the internet is a great tool I also think people should guard their personal information far more. I don't do much social media because of that.

Thanks, JP

Hi,

Finally decided that I have to put hunting Africa at least once on the bucket list. I'm sure to post questions that many of you will have very helpful information on.

Thanks in advance, JP
