We ate the loins from the first leopard I shot, and they were very good. We BBQ'ed them just like you would any steak. They were white meat like pork, and tasted very similar to pork, I thought. It was good enough that I had 2nds. I haven't eaten lion, but the hyenas sure seemed to enjoy it...

Global Rescue is very highly regarded by most who belong. I will be using them the next time I hunt in Africa, without hesitation. Certainly for dangerous game hunting, but I know a fellow who was hunting in Mozambique who used GR to evacuate him to Johannesburg, as he had an eye problem...

In Zimbabwe, the Matetsi and Deka Safari Areas, both have that kind of bull. Also, the Bubye Valley Conservancy and Malapati Safari Areas. In South Africa, either Johan Herman Safaris or Ernest Dyason of Spear Safaris. Both kill some really nice buffalo. In Zambia, Andrew Baldry of Royal...

What an incredible eland! Congrats to the very fortunate hunter.

Here are a couple of nice bulls from Kruger. I took these photos east of Satara. How do you guys like these two? I'm not sure why those didn't show on here. If you simply click on the links above, you'll see the pictures of these two fine bulls.

My dad started carrying me on his back out across a pond to go duck hunting when I was 5 years old. By the time I was 9, I'd shot my first duck, a drake greenwing teal, using an old single shot .410. That started a lifelong passion for hunting that has never abated and since then I've been...

I've sent you a PM and hope to be of additional assistance. Namibia has some fantastic options for what you're seeking. However, South Africa does as well and a sleeper for what you're seeking may be a couple operators who have large private holdings in Botswana. No matter where you go, the...

I thought I'd add that he took these pictures in the Letaba Elephant Museum, in Kruger National Park. The museum is located inside Letaba Camp, and is very well worth visiting if you're ever there.

That is the 'buffalo fence' that keeps buffalo and much other wild game to the north side of the fence, and keeps them out of cattle grazing areas. Given that for perspective, it's interesting to see how easily an elephant steps over the fence. Years ago, I hunted in Deka SA in Zimbabwe...

Nice bull, congratulations.

On my first safari, in Zimbabwe, I took 16 trophy animals and 5 or 6 bait animals. Highlights were a 58 lb elephant, a big tom leopard, 2 buffalo that were both over 41", a 45" sable, 54" kudu and 31" waterbuck. That hunt was 24 of the very best days of my life, and still stands as the finest...

What a fantastic buffalo bull! Congratulations on a great adventure. Can you post any pictures of the elephant?

I have to agree with Kelly. This isn't hunting, it is nothing more than trophy shopping. Like with high fenced elk, I have no regard for someone who resorts to this sort of thing to obtain a specimen. It IS NOT hunting! Now, I say this as someone who spent 37 days over two safaris, 15 days...

You're going to love it! I took my family, wife and two children, to Limpopo Province last May/June, and we had the trip of a lifetime. Where will you be going on this trip? What will you be hunting? How long will you be there? I'm sure we can all give you some ideas on great things to do...

I've said for years that hunting in Africa is the least and most expensive hunting one can do, and all at the same time. It is the least expensive in terms of daily rate and per animal in many cases, and the most expensive if you go to a premium desitination with high daily rates and expanded...
