Hi there!
I am the new boy (born in 1942) in the block. I've never been hunting in Africa (only business trips in the northern countries and Nigeria).
I live in the Alps, in a small village close to the Austrian border, so close that every now and then we go shopping "abroad". The area is beautiful and we have a plenty of tourists (no you cannot shoot them, even if they objet about "murdering cute critters").
We haven't buffaloes neither rhinos here, but we hunt deer (roe and red), chamois and hare (both, grey and mountain). We have a small population of the Alpine ptarmigan and of black cocks (the allowed cull is half a dozen or less all together), and very few capercallies (no we cannot shoot them). Last year one of my colleagues shot the first wild pig in our village area. It was a yearling boar coming from the next county.
I am sure that I will learn a lot from more experienced colleagues.
