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.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
