My favorite African country

Namibia is hard to beat, but I think South Africa has to be my favorite.

Kudu, Zebra, Warthog, Nyala, Oryx/Gemsbok, Blue/Black Wildebeest, Blesbok, Impala and Cape Buffalo. Sable, Roan, Waterbuck, Jackel, Golden Wildebeest, Hartmanns Zebra.

My best African Trophy

14+ year old buff taken in the Timbavate/Klasserie area of SA with my good friend Graham Sales.

My favorite African trophies

Very old Gold Medal bull Kudu that measured 57" and change in Namibia. Add Sable, Roan and Waterbuck to the list last September.

My preferred weapon(s)

My trusty .375 is my 'go to' weapon, but I have a soft spot for my .404 Jeffrey. Mostly one shot kills with either including my buffalo.

Zeiss

Occupation

Retired--Petroleum Engineer

Gear I cannot live without

Barnes 300 gr TTSX ammo for my .375! And of course the rifle as well.

My best hunting tip

Buffalo in 2016. Got to add South Africa with Graham Sales last year. Fantastic adventure with exceptional trophies. And my wife got to go along...big plus.
