I cannot understand why after literally hundreds of disaster hunts hunts in Zim sold by South African operators why people persist with booking with these fly by night guys- There are lots of good Zim operators that will give you a great hunt that is LEGAL. Check with SOAZ or ZPHGA before...

Leopard available Hi Elton I have a leopard available in our Dande Safari area. 95% success in the last 3 years. Drop me an email if you are interested on hunting@cmsafaris.com cheers Buzz

Gentlemen as you know I infrequently post on this form. However I feel duty bound to correct a statement that I made on this thread in reference to Ken Drummond and Payne. I had a long and enlightening conversation with Ken today. I am embarrassed to say that I have fallen into the trap of...

TAP You mention you PH could not say much as Drummond employed him as a free Lance PH! Morally and ethically he should not do any work for him in any way! He is hated and despised and your Ph will be by association also! I would rather go hungery then be associated with the likes of Drummond...

500 Grains minium As a PH hunting mainly ele but doing my fair share of buff also I want a caliber that is a true stopper! I have used a 416 Ribgy for my whole career and having had a scare 3 years ago paid for a hyme 500 double which took an amazing 2 years to build and is now stuck in SA due...

Hi Mallard Mikes list if I may say so is a good one- you will have a good safari with all listed. Likewise Terry is a super fellow and good hunter. We own/ operate two areas in the Zambezi Valley been the Dande Safaris area and Dande East and 11 and 1 in the Save Valley been Hammond. Check...

Hi Rastaman Thanks for the clarification on this. I presume the same action would be taken for the elephants that were unsold. Good luck and yes lets hope that the days of additional quotas to "fat cats" has finally come to an end!! Buzz

I was at the auctions and the lion (1 on liscence) and NO elephant (4 on liscence) were bought as the reserve price was so high. So can you explain how one gets this- is it a supplementary quota- if that is the case we would love to hear about it. Please can you post who BabweSafaris are maybe...

Hi Chris It works here in Zim which is amazing considering our terrible internet speed. Questions and thoughts Chris as I am in the making of a promo for our selves. 1/ How do you get a promo DVD out to as many people as possible? 2/ I would be a little concerned putting clients emails on...

Wow- unbelievable. We dont even sell 7 day buff hunts! 7 day "free range" lion hunt? Is that even enough time to get baits out? As Mike says been free range are there fences?

Hi Guys Thanks for the nice comments- I am glad that you have enjoyed the dvds and above all I hope that they have been a help to you when hunting eles ( and croc and hippo) as that was the main objective of the dvds! Cheers Buzz

NON STARTER I cannot believe people fall for these sort of "offers"! Come on guys if you are seriuos you have nothing to hide. I also am very aware of whats happening in Gokwe- let us know who your partner is. Like others have said if you are intent about trying to make a real go of Gokwe...

THE ESSENCE OF ELEPHANT HUNTING FINISHED!! Folks after 4 years of some great elephant footage I have finally finished my new DVD- THE ESSENCE OF ELEPHANT HUNTING This 2 hour odd- commercial free DVD (I was unlucky enough to not get any sponsors!!) is action packed yet also very informative...
