I was 49 when my feet first touched the ground on the African continent for a cape buffalo hunt in the Save Conservancy in Zimbabwe.

I hunted my buffalo in the Save. It was very much a proper hunt. Hunting among the big 5 along the way with abundant plains game as well. Unless they have shut some of it down it is closer to 1,000k acres. I can't speak with any personal knowledge to the other two areas. I don't think you can...

Is their anything good about Bozeman? Certainly not football!

You bet. Let me know if I can help!

I can give you the name of a Montana USDA approved taxidermist to ship to if you want. Where are you in Montana. It's a big state.

It's a long ride to get there, but well worth it as you already know. Have fun and shoot straight!

What a great trip and hunt. Thanks for sharing!

This deserves a quote: “The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa - for he has so much to look forward to." Richard Mullin Take lots of pictures. even of the food.

Very nice mount, congratulations! It will bring back memories every time you look at it.

I am an Official SCI measurer. We are not allowed to charge to score a animal. You do not have to be a member of SCI to have taken the animal but you do have to be a member to have it entered into the book. I have never hunted "for the book" to me it is more after the fact, as in how did I do...
