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.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
