Depends what is more important to you, the experience or the result/trophy. I have only hunted a non-trophy elephant and the experience was the most exciting/exhilarating 2 minutes of my hunting life, after 5 days of the most difficult and arduous hunting I’ve ever done. I would certainly love...

Nice LH rifle. I have a M77, Mark II, LH in 26-06 as well and it’s a fantastic rifle. Shoots great and the 25-06 is a great chamberings. GLWS

My hope would be that when I become a liability instead of an asset on any hunt that I would have the self awareness to pull the plug on that and any future DG hunts or any hunts for that matter. If I am not self aware, hopefully the PH will have that conversation with me then. My desire to...

I need a couple as well so I am following along.

Bummer this didn’t work out. Somebody missed out on a great scope. Back to the top for a great scope and better seller.

Welcome aboard. Some beautiful looking knives.

For tracking all day in the sun, you can’t go wrong with a boonie style hat.

Fantastic eland. I am very interested in your pursuit of the bushbuck slam. That has to be one of the best "slams" available in all of Africa. I look forward to hearing about the rest of your trip. Thank you for taking the time to share.

Based on reading this thread the first thing that comes to my mind is how fortunate I am to have been able to do some of the NA hunting I've done, before it got so outrageously expensive. All of the hunts I would consider still "dreams" for me in NA are in order. 1. Mountain Lion. I've been...

A Model 70 in 270 Win is as classic as you can get. Plenty of quality factory ammo available if you don’t hand load and lots of great components available if you do. I have 2 of them in the left handed versions of model 70s. One blued and walnut and the other cerakoted and synthetic stock. Love...

I have hunted buffalo in Bwabata and Kaboolaboola. I’ll be back in Bwabata in 2028 for a roan and reedbuck. Of the 2 concessions I’ve hunted and for what you are interested in hunting, I would recommend Bwabata and Omejevee Safaris. It’s been 4 years since I was in Bwabata but in 2022, I saw...

Fantastic. It truly is amazing how quickly such a big animal goes down with a properly executed brain shot. Well done and thank you for sharing.

My white whale of a rifle would be a left handed model 70 chambered in 7mm-08. If there are any in existence they would have come from the custom shop, as the only left handed short action rifles Winchester “mass produced” were the WSMs. I had previously found a LH Model 70 from the custom...

I have three. If forced to pick only one it would be the lion but here are the three that are on my mind with regularity. Wild lion that is exportable and importable. I have this hunt booked for 2027. Also, a wild, free ranging roan. I have this hunt booked for 2028. Lastly would be a LDE, still...
