No, I hunted with Mihai Mocanu.

I've been living in Romania for almost two years and have done a lot of hunting here. Hunted Roe deer several times, as well as pheasant, and was successful on a Red Stag, Chamois, and Bear hunt. Hunting Roe deer was a combination of high stand hunting and spot and stalking (which I always...

I LOVE that! What an incredible way to make memories of your first Africa hunt!

That's a very interesting question. My Africa safari was the trip of a lifetime and there is nothing that I have hunted before or since that compares. It seems to come down to priorities. Some aren't as romantic as I was, and still am, about hunting dangerous game or Africa in general. It may...

My vote was .308. Plenty of amp options available, if he wants to upgrade later, a .308 will always serve him well or he can easily sell it. .308 also takes well to suppressed shooting, and is great for both deer and boar.

That's a fantastic memento!

I appreciate everyone's replies! There are a lot more options than I realized and some I have never heard of. I will research many of these and make a decision eventually!

Sir, this is a great wealth of information! There are no longer people who can provide recent information on hunting tigers, at least as far as I am aware. Your article helps preserve a part of history. For those of us who will most likely never get the opportunity to hunt such an amazing...
