Sounds like a great hunt! Enjoy. When do you leave again? I bet there will be at least a few more days worth of indecision to keep you up late reading AH hunt reports, YouTube searches and the like

Hunt the hippo! You can hunt most of the others anytime.
Regards,

PS: unless you plan on a wild lion hunt where you have to shoot a bunch of hippos!

I wish!! You know when you go to a restaurant and the first dish you choose you don't order?? You order something else and say I should have ordered what I first wanted.....This is kinda the same except there's that stinkin budget versus desires.... My initial hunt was buff/PG. I think I gotta stick with that. Damn tiny ten are starting to peak my interest...NOT GOOD.

I don't think you can go wrong. Whatever choice you make will leave you wanting to do the other on your next trip. It's really just a matter of which order you do them in
I also have learned from personal experience that Marius really likes it when a client keeps changing their mind and vacillates right up to the last possible moment, and then changes everything again. So I would keep lobbing out new ideas to make him happy..

Your looking to get me in trouble with Marius aren't you..lol Listen I need no help trust me. Must have talked to him 3 times on this...and the hunt is 6 months away. ANAL me! But seriously your right, it definitely means another trip to Africa...I think I can handle that.I don't think you can go wrong.

No Billy...We have parted ways in some aspects. Marius and I will fly down from Limpopo and hunt his places.

Good luck with the Tiny Ten. I tried to explain that concept to my wife. Totally lost her. I guess the upside was she said can't you just get your Big 5.

I tried to explain the 4 species of North American sheep....Yeah basically it came down to "they are just different colors"

Johnny, a Hippo on land would be an exciting hunt. Buff/Hippo well they go together. Plan the plains game for another day as there will always be options for them. I wish I was going Buff/Hippo hunting

I had better stick to my guns and go with choice one...Buff and PG.

I'm hunting with Marius in July for Buff/Sable but originally opted for Buff/Hippo and changed my mind
