Currently sitting in airport loung at OR Tambo, but I thought I could start a thread on the hunt we just wrapped up in Zambia. I booked with Steven Rufus of Shamwari Safaris, and we hunted the Kasonoso area on the Noryhern border of Kafue National Park. It was a very successful hunt. We took 7 animals: Sitatunga, buffalo, Reedbuck, Red Lechwe, Puku, Oribi, and Angolan Bush Duiker. There was significant lion activity in very close proximity to where we hunted the Sitatunga. I will write more details later as I get some time. In the meantime, here's some pics.

Very cool. The sitatunga has always been interesting to me.
 
Congratulations, you had a heck of a good hunt! That Sitatunga is excellent, as is the Red Lechwe. Safe travels homeward…

Congrats, great trophies !
 
Excellent looking trophies and the weather looked pretty spectacular too.
 
Great hunt, congratulations. Safe travels home. I was sitting at OR Tambo coming home from Zambia 9 days ago. Still haven’t adjusted to being at home yet. Hard to go from tracking Buffalo to being in the office!:ROFLMAO:

My apologies for any grief that I may have caused you. I now have a pit in my stomach and I'm really pissed off and embarrassed. I feel that I have been made a fool of.

Please accept my apology.

Still possible to order one of these?

Hello,
I might be able to help you out depending on how many you need. I could probably spare 50-75 .285g A-Frames. They are factory pulls that look like new. Let me know if you are still looking,
Thanks,
Gary

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.
