I meant this to be the non "glamour" game. No Big Five, Mount Nyala, bongo, LD Eland, Menilik's Bush buck and that sort of thing. I'm thinking more of game that you can take without a $50k safari.
My list has Chobe and Limpopo bushbuck on it. Mountain Zebra and Vaal Rhebok.
How about you?

Mountain Zebra, White Tailed Gnu, Tommie, and always, always more warties and impalas..

Tiger fishing. Been needing to do this again and get some time set aside and dedicated for it .
I've actually sorting out some details on this now, or just recently. Seems like a Houseboat rental on the Kariba is the ticket. But I still have yet to find a house boat to live on with a skiff to fish from. It's coming........ I know lots of people in Africa!
Ha Ha..... never saw this coming huh!

I think it would be great fun to go to the Karoo region of SA, with my .257 Weatherby, and take a grand slam of Springbok!
I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....

The Karoo is just THE place for your .257 Weatherby. Long shots and some days lost of wind. No cover to stalk effectively so the game can see you from a long way off, ...and they know why you are there!

My Zambian buddy Johnny Du Plooy has taken me down to Kariba on a houseboat just for an afternoon of Tiger Fishing. They hit bait like a hand grenade. Big fun that I'd love to be able to do again and for more than one day.

I've tried 5 times for a Common Reedbuck and have never seen one that I felt that I wanted.
And I'm with jorge1, more Warthogs.

Sable or whatever is around the next bend.
I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

My main focus will remain more leopard and bigger buff, so in those pursuits I can pick up the other game I want to hunt.
Kudu, although I have no kudu luck!
Sable
Chobe bushbuck
Roan
Lessor kudu
