Beautiful ram. Sounds like a great hunt with some good trophies. Bruce

I hunted last year with Congo Forest safaris in the Tala Tala area. Second trip. Got my bongo first day and spent the balance of the hunt hoping for a dwarf forest buffalo. They are spooky and far and few inbetween. I got to see one cow when we snuck into a machan to spend the night. It would...

Congrats!!! Bull of a lifetime, especially in this day and age. Well done! Bruce

Good information with some great trophies shown. Any specials or deals available? Hopefully you participate in the forums. Bruce

https://www.reddesertrifles.com/custom-rifles-stocks I saw some of their stocks at a show. Talk about beautiful. The prices a couple of yrs ago seemed inexpensive for what you were getting. Might be worth a phone call. Bruce

Looking forward to the rest of the story. Bruce

Tanzania. A little research would turn up specific areas. Bruce

As a jeweler I bought and sold hundreds of thousands in bullion. 1 oz sizes are usually the easiest to work with. I have sold silver bars up to 1000 oz tho. With gold where it’s at smaller denominations can also be considered useful. I always worked with physical metals. Buy whatever you’re...

I hunted with Spike on one of these offers. In fact might have been the first time he offered it. Anyway I had a great time. Good people and a interesting place to hunt. I highly recommend it. Bruce

Well done.Excellent pics and a well told story. Thanks for sharing. Bruce

I was thinking about your numbers. Seemed reasonable until I hit the tip/gun rental line. If each of you tipped $600 then that’s $1200. Instead of renting a rifle take your own. Even using a service in Joberg you’re about $200. Do your own paperwork and wait in the line and save that $200. So...

Nice animals and a great write up. My Klippi came from the EC so they are there. Just need the right mountain I guess. Congrats on your hunt. Bruce

Good looking Orono. Congrats on getting him. My last trip to Africa in June I killed several Blue Duikers when they called them in. It seems like calling might work in your 2nd day scenario. So the question really is did they have someone who could call Blue Duikers? Bruce

Cameraland has a lot of optics on sale for BF. The one I got was a new Zeiss V8 NA. 20% off while their Zeiss rep is in the store today. Normally price protected and not a sale item. Bruce

Great start. Looking forward to the rest of your hunt report. Massive area to hunt. Bruce
