Wow sounds like a great hunt and an incredible buffalo! Congrats. Did you see any eland when you were there?

Good thread Shakka, I have enjoyed reading everyone’s responses. I don’t think that I will be priced out, but prices might change what I get to hunt in Africa. For example a 10 day buff hunt in Zim is currently about 18k( daily rate and trophy fee). I am looking to go back in 2028 for a third...

Congrats on a great elephant. Really enjoyed the write up.

I understand work and getting the time off. Two weeks usually not to hard to get off from work but the third week is tough.

Mark I’ll take the 416’s

I Agree with Green Chile. Can’t go wrong with 300WM. Both US and Africa. Plenty of power and bullet selection.

I don’t really hate any of them. I always get entertained by folks arguing for or against the 6.5 creedmore. I don’t reload so like calibers where ammo is readily available. I think if you have 12 gauge, 270, 300 WM, 375 h and h, 416 rigby your ready for everything. Always enjoy listening to...

Great report. Congrats on an amazing accomplishment!!

Charles have you considered just using the outfitters rifle? When I went i used a rifle that they had and it worked well for my PG hunt. Some will let you use their rifle at a minimal charge or no charge at all. One less expense and most have good quality rifles, ammo and optics.

Thanks for sharing. One heck of a first safari!!

I’m headed over to Greenland in September to hunt musk ox and Caribou. Booked flight from Houston to Philadelphia to Copenhagen. Overnight in Copenhagen and fly out to Greenland the next day. Flight cost was about 2k all in. Going with a friend from South Carolina. Hoping it’s a good hunt and...

It’s straight forward on his website. He is definitely up front about the possibility of additional money that could be owed with rising costs year to year. A few hundred dollars wouldn’t be to big a deal but a couple thousand would be a different story

I saw something similar the other day when I was looking at mule deer hunts. The outfitter usually books a couple years out but can’t guarantee the advertised price because his costs might go up. So today the hunt is 8500 when you book and sign contract but by the time the hunt takes place in...
