What would you consider is the ultimate species to hunt in africa?? Plainsgame and Big Five?? :elch:
 
Vaal Rhebuck -Seeing I don't hunt animals that could eat or stomp me I love the challenge of the vaal.
 
My ultimate plainsgame hunt would be for a Lesser Kudu in Tanzania's Maasailand.

An Elephant Bull in Botswana would be my choice for one of the Big 5.

If I could only win the lottery...:daydreaming:
 
Bushbuck is one of my favorites.
 
Plains game: Bongo
Big 5: Elephant
 
Bongo and lion.
 
(PG) Blue Wildebeest
(DG) Cape Buffalo
 
(dg) Leopard by a long margin for me the most challenging, and most rewarding hunt in Africa :)

(pg) bushbuck, strictly during the day!
 
Leopard,

and Zebra with bow via spot and stalk
 
Bongo and Elephant-Buffalo
 
Bongo and leopard.
 
Lord Derby Eland and Leopard would be mine...
 
DG-Leopard and not by baiting. Stalking/tracking one would great:)
PG-Lord Derby Eland by spot and stalk with a bow.
 
DG: I would say elephant(some day all of them)
PG: bushbuck
 
IMO opinion the best hunt is for tuskless cow in the thick jess.

IMO the greatest trophy is a tie between a big, old, dark maned lion or a 100 pound elephant.
 
I'm going to go with a Leopard and Bongo!!!!!
 
I would like to shoot a 70" Kudu ! 57 " is my biggest so far .
 
Leopard and Lord Derby Eland, although Lesser Kudu, Bongo and Sitatunga arent far down the list.

Hello! I saw your post from last year about a missing crate from your hunt in Moz. I am curious how that all turned out? We (my fiancé and I) also hunted in Moz in 2024 and the trophies are being shipped with Hunters Services Limitada. We have some concerns on whether we will get the trophies home or not. May I ask who you hunted with?
