    My good friend Ryan Van Der Esthuisen lined the hunt up. I was in NG34, and the buffalo hunting was incredible. The body size and neck size were unparalleled. DM me and I can get you his direct contact.

    Thank you for the kind words. Truthfully, I’m always a little hesitant to share these adventures publicly, as I never want them to come across as boasting. Hunting has given me some incredible experiences, but the older I get, the more I realize the trophies are only a small part of the story...

    Thank you very much. My PH was a young man named Ebon, however...I did take my friend Mark Sullivan with me as he wanted to participate in one last elephant hunt prior to his retirement.

    Rigby 450 NE in Botswana

    There were a lot of buffalo (huge bodies) zebra, and giraffe. The kudu, sable, and impala were pretty sparse. In TZ im going after buffalo, niassa wilderbeest, dry land hippo, and possibly leopard.

    100% agree. I got to share the gospel with the school children.
