Which Trophy do you dream about taking on your African Hunting Safari

[bo4elk]

A sable, its always been a sable. I'm not sure why. Dream to reality in 11 months!

 

[Red Leg]

LDE

And now in Spain there is a legend being whispered about. Somewhere deep in the Mozambique bush there exists a man called the Unicorn Whisperer
That is awesome Simon! That must have been one happy client It sounds like he had something of a history with Serval. How long had your client been trying to bag one?
We'll see how my first go at them turns out this September Along with Lioness and Caracal. Something of a "feline safari" you might say.

Maybe an ID thing, but I totally agree, cats do it for me. Lion, leopard, caracal, serval, genet, etc. Have had my hands on cheetah, serval and caracal before on hunts I was on that my PH shot or the landowner trapped, but passed on taking them home. Running caracal with dogs in July, already have a genet, leopard in Mozambique next year (if I'm lucky). Good luck with the "feline safari", sounds cool.

 

[Hunt anything]

Harnessed bushbuck, sitatunga

 

[Hunter-Habib]

I enjoy hunting them all. But rhinoceros is the only one which I’ve never been able to hunt till now.

 

[Stamp Collector]

I voted Kudu, Zebra, Wildebeest, and Gemsbok because they’re all iconic African animals in my mind.

Cape Buffalo is what I most dream of overall but not without taking some plains game first. My first trip is May of 2023 and I hope to take all of the above plains game.

 

[Dee S]

Had to go with Buffalo and zebra. Have taken two Hartmann's, two Burchell's, and going after a Crawshay's next. Hope to get the Crawshay's on the same trip as the buffalo in August.

 

[Dewald]

Giant forest hog and red river hog

One day hopefully LDE and bongo

 

[Wishfulthinker580]

Hopefully a trophy bull elephant one day. LDE would be amazing too

 

[Tundra Tiger]

On my upcoming trip next week? Kudu (it will always make the list), gemsbok, and a really big warthog. Also, probably another chance at a cow buffalo.

I want a nice bull, someday, but that's not likely for this trip.

I find as the years pass I find myself imagining hunting hippo and croc. Those two seem to be growing on me.

Maybe this will make sense, maybe not.... I don't have a super deep desire for elephant, but I do like the idea of experiencing an elephant hunt? Maybe that will grow on me too.

I have 2 animals on my list…and they are the top 2. Sable, which I hope to take in SA in a couple of weeks, and leopard on a trip in the future. There are many I want to hunt again. Kudu, Bushbuck, Gemsbok. Of course an outstanding specimen of any species might get my attention even if they aren’t on my list.

I think that the next adventure captures my attention more than the next critter.

If money was no object it would always be a leopard. But dreams of huge Warthogs is what gets my motor running while Waiting to go on my first safari.

 

[Milo]

The wife wants a mountain nyala.
I'd take a dwarf foreset buffalo.

I have taken all the species of interest to me. But if I ever go again it would be for the area and the hunt- not necessarily a specific animal. I would go to the Central Kalahari of Botswana as early as possible in the “season” - April/May. Making sure the trackers were San Bushmen. Hunt for tracks with potential not much matter the species, then get behind the trackers and “roll” walk that sand for as long as it takes for the right animal. An old common eland or wildebeest bull would be high on that list as would any old PG bull hunted that way. I wouldn’t shoot a kudu though because I have killed enough of them.

 

[BWH]

Having been 3x…… my list is in no order….
Waterbuck
Sable
Roan
Vaalie
Mtn Reedbuck
Caracal
……..leopard $$$

 

[Jondnov]

Buffalo for me. Only been on one Safari and was able to shoot some nice plains game. Saving up for the Buffalo as we speak.

Hopefully you will take a Sable on our upcoming trip this week. Wild eland is certainly a well earned trophy and I would help you eat it.

My first Safari was for buffalo and there have been many since. I’ve never been fired up about plains game, other than tracking eland, so it made sense for me to go after buffalo on my first trip across.

 

[Andrew62]

Elephant, elephant, elephant! Nice to see an 8 year old thread brought back to life!!

 

[Drywaller44]

On my first trip over red lechwe and kudu were my dream animals.

On any future trips kudu, bushbuck and waterbuck would always be on the list.

My if I hit the lottery animals would be leopard behind hounds, buffalo and sable.
